The star of the show is a delicate, rice-like base made from finely chopped cauliflower. This versatile ingredient soaks up all the vibrant flavors of the curry-inspired seasoning, creating a light yet incredibly satisfying foundation. The cauliflower rice is expertly seasoned with a medley of warm spices – think turmeric, cumin, coriander, and a touch of chili – creating a fragrant and flavorful experience that dances on your palate.

Instructions

    1.
    Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, removing the very top and bottom. Use a teaspoon to carefully scoop out a channel along the center of each zucchini half, creating space for the filling.
    2.
    Heat a griddle pan over high heat and place the zucchini cut-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and nicely charred. Cover with foil to keep warm after cooking.
    3.
    While the zucchini cooks, heat the oil in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Crush the garlic and add it to the pan along with the onion. Sweat gently until softened and translucent.
    4.
    Add the cauliflower rice, curry powder, and vegetable stock to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all ingredients and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
    5.
    Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until all the liquid has evaporated, leaving the cauliflower rice moist and flavorful.
    6.
    Divide the curried cauliflower rice evenly among the cooked zucchini boats. Scatter fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of freshness and serve immediately.
