"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
6 medium zucchini
1 pound ground beef, crumbled
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (1 lb) stewed tomatoes
(or Jalapeno stewed tomatoes)

Directions:
Directions:
1. Scrub zucchini; cut off stem and blossom ends. Drop into salted boiling water and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. Remove zucchini from cooking water and immerse in cold water; let stand until cool, then drain. Cut in halves lengthwise and scoop out pulp leaving shell. Coarsely chop pulp.

2. In a frying pan, brown ground beef over moderate high heat. Mix in onions and garlic, stirring over moderate heat until onion is soft. Spoon off fat if necessary. Stir in tomatoes and their liquid, wine, tomato paste, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered 15 minutes. Uncover, add chopped zucchini pulp and cook 15-20 minutes uncovered stirring occasionally.

3. Heap meat mixture into zucchini shells arranged in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold zucchinis. Sprinkle with cheese. (Casserole can be covered and refrigerated until ready to bake.)

4. Bake, uncovered, in a 425 º oven for 25-35 minutes until zucchini is tender and cheese is browned.
