Stuffed Paleo Zucchini

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped kale
2 tablespoons garlic
1/2 pound homemade sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup almond meal
1 large, cage free, organic egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
4 small zucchinis
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the
onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until tender. Season
with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables and the remaining
ingredients, except the zucchini. Cut the zucchini lengthwise and scoop out the
seeds. Fill the zucchini with the sausage mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and
bake for 20-30 minutes.
Beef, Celery, Walnut & Apple Stuffing
Serves 4
Who says stuffing has to be made out of just bread? This version is made with
lean ground beef, celery, apples and walnuts, making it amazing and much
healthier to boot. The ground beef needs to be very lean so the fat does not change
the taste and texture you are looking to create. With the celery, apples and spices
used, the aroma and texture will remain similar to that of traditional stuffing. The
result will be much better if you chop your own fresh herbs.
