1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Filling
1/2 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 anchovies packed in oil
250 g tuna chunks in olive oil

fresh parsley, chopped
Topping
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup red wine

Preparation

Cut the zucchini tops and remove the flesh until you have a generous cavity. Reserve the tops. Brush inside and outside with olive oil.
Mix and combine oregano, basil, garlic granules, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the mixture inside of each zucchini. Place the zucchini and tops into a small iron-cast pan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 180\u00b0C, or until slightly soft. Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly.
Meanwhile, saute the onion in olive oil. Add anchovies, crush them with a wooden spoon. Set aside to cool slightly.
Add tuna chunks in olive oil, capers, bread crumbs, egg, lemon zest, pepper and parsley to the onion and anchovies. Mix well and combine.
Generously fill each zucchini with the prepared mixture.
Sprinkle grated cheese on top of each stuffed zucchini (1 tablespoon / zucchini). Return to the pan.
Add wine and vegetable broth to the pan, return the zucchini to the oven and bake them at 200\u00b0C for about 10 minutes.
Serve with tops on and drizzle the liquid from baking over each zucchini.
