Although there is nothing left until the end of summer, all the typical vegetables for these dates are still in full season. And, if we want to follow a healthy diet These days back to routine, nothing better than making the most of them.
The recipe that we recommend for dinner tonight, some exquisite zucchini stuffed with tuna, is in season twice as much, as both the vegetables and the fish They are at their best. You can always prepare it with canned bonito, but with how cheap it is these days in fishmongers I highly recommend using the fresh product.
The preparation of this dish has no mystery, and we will have it smooth in less than half an hour. While the oven is heating up, we sauté it with garlic, onion, tomato and, when it is ready, we add the tuna, cooking it only very briefly (if it is canned, we add it and that’s it). We reserve and, when the oven is ready, we cook the zucchini with a little oil and salt in the oven. After five minutes, we empty the zucchini, mix the pulp with the rest of the filling, add it back, and gratin it in the oven with a little bechamel and, if we want, cheese, on top. Impossible to resist.
Coming into nutritional matter, This dish is a gem. Zucchini provides fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants, while tuna provides us with high-quality proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. The result? A dinner that, in addition to being rich in flavor, is nutritious and helps us maintain balance without adding unnecessary calories (if you want to make it lighter, you can skip the bechamel).

If you are one of those who are not satisfied with the basic menu, there is room for creativity. You can change the tuna for tuna or even shredded chicken. And the same recipe as is works perfectly using eggplants.
And to close with a flourish, what better than a simple pairing for this dinner. A Albariño white wine Very cool it would be perfect. But if you prefer something non-alcoholic, sparkling water and a few lemon slices can do the job. Don’t forget the bread, because the filling sauce deserves it.
