Zucchini with Chickpea and Mushroom Stuffing

Ummm. So I'll get right to the point. It has good reviews on allrecipes.com. I didn't like it. I hated the zucchini shells. The stuffing was aight. It just needed sauce. I think it could be better if it were made with potatoe instead.

I didn't take many pictures of it. on the plus it was low calorie. But I added cheese, sour cream, and sometimes ketchup. Still wasn't that great.

"A great vegetable dish that can be used as a centerpiece or as a side. Can be lovely when served with tomato based sauce and a green vegetable, or I have even had them with traditional roasted vegetables at Christmas."
