Zucchini And Feta Appetizer - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 zucchini
    1 cup crumbled feta cheese
    8 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    sea salt (coarse)
    fresh ground pepper
Preparation
    Boil a large pot of salted water (not the dead sea, but put in a couple of TBSP of salt).
    Cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Use a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds, to form a little canoe, if you will. Blanche the halves in the boiling water for a minute, remove and let drain on a paper towel for a few minutes.
    Pre-heat your broiler/grill on high.
    Fill each \"canoe\" with feta cheese (you don't have to use the whole cup up, but put a good amount in each) and broil for a couple of minutes. When the cheese has turned a little brown in spots, remove from the broiler.
    Drizzle each with a TBSP of olive oil, a sprinkle of pepper and salt if you like, and serve with crusty bread (I like ciabatta, rubbed with garlic and a little olive oil.).
