Pigs in a Paleo Pouch

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large zucchini, halved and hollowed out
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Next, add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the ground pork to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s browned and cooked through, around 7 to 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Remove from heat.
  6. Using the hollowed-out zucchini, fill each half with the pork mixture, pressing down gently to ensure they are packed.
  7. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it on top of each filled zucchini.
  8. Place the zucchini in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
  9. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the tops are slightly golden.
  10. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
