Stuffed Achocha Recipe

Today Mike will teach you how to cook a wonderful veg called Achocha or Slipper Gourd.

This is a fabulously easy and productive food to grow and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Just check out the recipe below for one of the many delicious ways to enjoy the awesome stuff!

Stuffed Achocha

12 x achocha
100g Sulguni cheese (Edam, Gouda or Emmental are good or vegan alternative), cut into small cubes or grated
75g feta cheese (or vegan alternative), crumbled
Tablespoon of fresh, chopped oregano
100g onion, fine diced
2 cloves garlic, mashed
20g butter (or olive oil)

Melt the butter in a pan, high heat and chuck the diced onions in – cook them off until they begin to color
.
Add the garlic and toss around for 30 secs, take off the heat.
In a bowl put both kinds of cheese, oregano & the onion/garlic mix.
Mash it all up together and taste it, add salt if it needs it (but the salty feta should make it just right)
Cut the achocha in half lengthways and remove the seeds and pith inside.
Stuff with the cheese mixture and bake in a 190C oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese is turning golden on top.
Remove from the oven, leave for a minute or two and transfer to a plate, make sure you scrape any cheese that’s overflowed back onto the achocha!
Eat.
