Giant Zucchini Uncovered

I don't care how carefully I search, there's always the rogue zucchini that gets overlooked!  This one was hiding under a mass of stems from its mother plant.  By the time I noticed it, it was a whopping 4 pounds!

I halfed it, removed the seeds, and cooked it in the microwave.  Then, I carefully removed the soft flesh, chopped it up, and made a fabulous vegetarian stuffing (with sauteed onions, beans, TVP, fresh tomatoes, leftover corn, cooked rice, basil pesto, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, etc, etc) which I used to refill the zucchini shells.  I topped it all with freshly grated parmesan cheese and baked it in the oven until heated through.  What a meal!
