Curgetes recheadas
para 4
Ingredientes:
4 curgetes médias;
1 c. de sopa de azeite;
1 cebola finamente picada;
1 dente de alho;
300 gramas de carne de vaca picada;
4 c. de sopa de tomate em lata (ou
polpa de tomate);
2 colheres chá orégãos secos;
sal e pimenta q.b.;
queijo ralado q.b.;
Primeiro lavar bem as curgetes e
depois de cortadas ao meio retirar o recheio para um recipiente. De seguida
refogar a cebola picada com o azeite por 5 minutos e depois juntar o recheio da
curgete e o alho. Passados cerca de mais 5 minutos juntar a carne picada e temperar com sal e pimenta (q.b.). Quando a carne estiver
cozinhada (perto de 10 minutos), juntar o tomate (com alguma água - meia caneca) e os orégãos e deixar em lume médio,
por mais 10 minutos de forma a não perder o molho todo e rectificar os
temperos.
No final rechear as curgetes com
o molho de carne, cobrir com o queijo ralado na hora e levar ao forno a 220º
graus por 20/25 minutos ou até estar gratinado.
