| 1. Preheat the oven to 375*F. | 2. Lightly oil a baking sheet. | 3. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. | 4. With a paring knife, score the flesh about 1/2 inch deep. | 5. Place the cut sides down on the baking sheet. | 6. Sprinkle with the sherry and cover with foil. | 7. Bake for about 20 minutes, until yielding but still firm. | 8. While the zucchini bakes, make the sauce. | 9. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onions and garlic, and saute for about 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent. | 10. Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, oregano, cinnamon, and sherry. | 11. Then bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. | 12. Add the salt and pepper to taste. | 13. Cover and set aside. | 14. While the sauce is simmering, prepare the filling. | 15. Saute the onions and garlic in the oil for about 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent. | 16. In a bowl, combine the sauteed onions with the walnuts, feta, currants, and lemon juice. | 17. Stir in the rice. | 18. When the zucchini is tender, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin 1/4 inch shell. | 19. Chop the flesh and add it to the filling. | 20. Mound the filling in the shells and sprinkle with seasoned bread crumbs and olive oil, if desired. | 21. Bake, uncovered, for about 10 to 15 minutes. | 22.
