I am not sure what happened. I followed the instructions but the zucks were hard and the meat was quite blend. Thank you anyway -
Very yummy and easy to make! I also substituted tomato paste for the sauce, and I added in some sauted mushrooms too for more flavor. Great recipe! -
wonderful! excellent re-heated for next day meal. -
Absolutely Amazing!! I used soya instead of meat being a vegetarian and all. If you use TVP, soak in veggie beef stock first. I will be making these at least once a week. YUMMY!! -
Easy & good for all that surplus zucchini. Plus it is low carb. I would use a small amount of tomato paste instead of sauce because of the water content in the zukes.

I've been hanging around Zaar for a while, now and have found some really awesome recipes, but more importantly, some really awesome people.
I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to try my recipes. Your reviews are a bright spot in my day.
I believe that life is a collection of lessons that we must do our best to learn. One that I'm working on now is not judging those who judge others. I've come across this quote and thought I'd put it here: "The world is long on judgment and short on understanding. Judging is easy and self-satisfying. Understanding requires perspective, experience, and empathy."-Unknown
