This is the second recipe I tried from Tender, and it was so much better than the first. I did run into several issues - my zucchini didn't cook through, for one, even though I was cooking much less of it than the recipe called for - but I was able to overcome them pretty well. One note for myself for next time is to omit the breadcrumbs. If this amount of filling is needed, double the couscous instead. The breadcrumbs, though I had to improvise them using lavash which may have affected their success, did not really add anything to the dish. The yogurt-dill sauce was delicious and compensated for the slight dryness of the couscous filling. I would also love to try this with the fat round zucchini that you can actually hollow out and stuff. Quinoa could make a nice substitute for the couscous and would add protein to the meal. I could also see turning this into a kind of grain salad... chop up the zucchini (maybe grill it first?) and mix it all together.
