Method

Cut the ends off of the zucchinis. Then with a paring knife or an apple corer, take out the center of the zucchinis. In this process you will also de-seed the zucchinis. 

For the filling, saute the diced onions until they begin to caramelize. Then some salt and pepper along with the dried basil and dried oregano. Cook for a minute and then add the diced tomatoes. Cook for two minutes. Then take off the heat and add the wild rice. Combine the ingredients. 

Then take the filling and stuff the zucchinis. When the zucchinis are filled, place in a baking dish with tomato sauce halfway from the top. Cover with aluminium foil and bake in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 to 40 minutes. 

This recipe is completely vegetarian. If you are not a vegetarian, try them first with out meat. They are just as delicious. If you insist having meat in them, try any ground meat or sausage. After adding the tomatoes you would add the ground meat until it is cooked through. Enjoy!
