Sounds like a great recipe. I just bought some zuc's, so I'll try to make some tonight.
By the way, Marcia, you are only talking about peeling the big ole zuc's, right? Because I have only used the little zuc's and I have never had a problem with the skins being any different than the rest of the bread.
When I have the big ones, I like to seed them and then stuff them. You can stuff them with just about anything: ground beef, ground turkey, sausage (or a combination of meat), bread crumbs, mushrooms, cheese, etc..
