Great idea Giff, I’ve experimented with stuffed zucchini and haven’t been too happy with the results, but I think my problem was that I was trying to make it vegetarian. With bacon and pork shoulder, I bet this is fantastic!

Hi Kelly, well Haalo just blogged about stuffed zucchini's as well, and says she prefers the smaller ones anyway, which authors like Richard Olney agree with. I just happened to have medium/big ones, but did not have a problem with the taste, so figure working smaller might be a little more fiddly, but there's only a taste upside!

The zucchini recipe sounds really delish. Ours aren’t anywhere near that size, though, so I’m thinking a layered sliced version would work for me. The ground lamb I have in the freezer would be perfect I think, so thanks for the suggestion ; ) And I agree with you on that fruit salad. Have you tried it with a balsamic reduction? Oh, my.

I just can’t find ramps anywhere. I am so jealous of all of you that can. I guess I should go to the farmers market, but that would mean getting up early on Sunday. Yuck!:)

I also think stuffed zucchinis would go *really* well with lamb!

so glad to see someone using creme fraiche – an ingredient so underused here in the States, in my opinion. Funny, my next blog post uses it too.

Love what you are doing here, love the stuffing mix (never stuffed zucchini with pork before!), and the sauce sounds great – gonna try that with a couple of different things actually.

This is very creative and the sauce sounds delicious.

Hi Giff,

This menu is pure summer. I am planting a garden that will one day produce zucchini a plenty and this will be the first recipe I turn to. Thank you for the mention, I’ll be trying your version soon!
