Lamb & Zucchini Stuffed Peppers

July 9, 2013 By marketeditor

Mary Pratt of Elihu Farm sells pastured grass-fed lamb, including many different cuts of lamb such as hot Italian and chorizo sausage. These spicy sausages are a perfect flavorful ingredient in the recipe below. If you’ve had lamb before and don’t like the strong flavor, then you need to give Elihu Farm lamb a try. Mary says she has seen many people change their minds about lamb after tasting her mild tasting lamb. Since her lambs are grass-fed and pastured their meat is leaner and has a delicious flavor.

The warm and rainy weather this summer has been perfect growing conditions for zucchini. You’ll have no problem finding zucchini at the market as well as onion, garlic and tomatoes to make the Lamb & Zucchini Stuffed Peppers.

Lamb & Zucchini Stuffed Peppers

1 cup chopped onion*

1 teaspoon minced garlic*

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 pound hot Italian or Chorizo lamb sausage*

1 cup peeled chopped tomatoes*

1½ pound diced zucchini*

¼  cup sherry (optional)

1 tablespoon each fresh thyme and oregano

2 tablespoons fresh parsley

6 large sweet peppers*

Cook onion and garlic in olive oil in a skillet on medium heat for 3-5 minutes.  Add zucchini, cook for 5-10 minutes.  Remove lamb sausage from casing, add to onion and zucchini, cook until lightly browned, pour off excess fat.  Add chopped tomatoes and sherry, if desired.  Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, uncover, and cook for 10-15 minutes longer to evaporate liquid.  Add herbs and ground pepper to taste during last 5 minutes of cooking.  Slice top off peppers, remove seeds, stuff with lamb and zucchini mixture.  Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 20 minutes or until heated through.

Makes 6 servings.

Starting off the week with another MCM (Market Cru Starting off the week with another MCM (Market Crush Monday!) This week we talked to Kim from Mugzy’s Barkery who brings healthy, locally made dog treats to the market. 
 
1. How did Mugzy’s Barkery get started? 
My sister Jaime started the business just over 5 years ago to have a healthier treat option to give her beloved Olde English Bulldog, Mugzy. Our treats are all natural and organic, providing a healthy alternative to mass-produced treats for caring dog parents. 
 
 2. What’s your favorite part about vending at the market?
Definitely getting to see all the dogs! The funny thing is I know all our regular customer’s dogs by name, not the owners. 
 
3. What are your most popular treat flavors?
Pumpkin paws (grain-free biscuits) and the pupcakes (a bite-sized treat) are really popular with the dogs but we also have flavors like PB cookie cups, apple cheddar training treats, banana buddies and more, so something to fit any pup’s tastes!
 
The PB cookie cups have been tried and approved by our market assistant’s dog, Lacey!
