Saute some onions and garlic in olive oil,

what do YOU do with zucchini ??

Soups ? Casseroles ? Salads ?

You can use zucchini or broccoli for either of these recipes.

ZUCCHINI PUFF
(Source: The Zucchini & Carrot Cookbook. R.C. Bateman
Ward Ritchie Press, Pasadena, CA, 1976)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

2 c finely diced, unpeeled zucchini (I just grate it, let it drain a
bit)
1/2 c finely chopped parsely
1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 c olive oil
3 eggs, beaten
salt, pepper
3/4 c packaged biscuit mix (eg. Bisquick)

Mix together zucchini, parsely, cheese, garlic, and olive oil. Stir in
eggs and season w/salt & pepper. Blend in biscuit mix until smooth.
Spread in greased 8-1/2" round or 9" square dish. Bake 350 deg. 35-40
min. Cut in wedges or squares.

Variation: Cocktail Zucchini Sticks. Double recipe and season w/chile
powder or 4 T diced seeded canned green chiles. Spread in greased
jelly roll pan, bake until browned, 25-30 min. Cut into fingers and
serve warm w/drinks.


BROCCOLI PUFF
(Source: General Mills/Betty Crocker Bisquick pamphlet)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
2 pkg (10 oz) frozen chopped broccoli, cooked & drained
(or grated zucchini, uncooked)
1 c Bisquick baking mix
1 c milk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 c shredded Cheddar cheese (about 4 oz)
(I think my original passed-down-from-someone-else version for
zucchini had basil and garlic too, but this broccoli version doesn't.
Something to think about)

Heat oven to 325. Butter 5-1/2 c souffle dish or 1-1/2 quart
casserole. Beat baking mix, milk, eggs, and salt w/hand beater until
smooth. Stir in vegetable and cheese. Pour into prepared baking dish.
Bake until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out
clean, about 1 hour. Serve immediately.

Variations: you can use other vegetables such as corn or spinach.
Peas, I think, would be weird, as would beets!

Here's four ideas:

1. Bake sliced zucchini w/ onion, tomato sauce, oregano and topped w/
mozzarella and parmesan.

2. Make foil packets of zucchini, potato, onion s&p, butter and throw
on the grill.

3. Toss in diced zucchini when making capellini pasta. When draining,
saute diced garlic in generous olive oil, red pepper flakes, flaked
salt, add chopped basil, diced walnuts, halved cherry tomaoes, stir in
pasta and zucchini that was draining and turn off heat. Add parm and
parsley. Takes 5 minutes... my current favorite meal.

4. For overgrown zucchini, slice half lengthwise and make a liitle
bakeable canoe and fill w/ Italian sausage, mushrom, tomatoes,
breadcrumb, basil, mixture. Wrap in foil to steam, open to brown.

Try these before you leave that excess zucchini on your neighbor's porch.

ZUCCHINI AND NOODLES

2 medium zucchini
1/4 pound fine egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Cut zucchini crosswise into 1-inch chunks, lengthwise in halves, crosswise
into 1/16 slices and lengthwise into 1/16 slivers. (If done, right, each
sliver will have some skin and will be the about the size of the cooked
noodles. Or you can just say "Screw that!" and use the 2x2 julienne slicer
on your Cuisinart.) Cook noodles until tender. Meanwhile, saute zucchini in
butter until just done, and add garlic and basil. Add drained noodles, salt
and pepper to taste, and stir well to blend. Serve with grated Parmesan.

ZUCCHINI GRATIN

2 pounds zucchini
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
white pepper
3 large eggs
3/4 cup cream
6 ounces Swiss cheese, grated

Halve and core zucchini. cut into 1-inch pieces. Boil 5-8 minutes or until
tender. Puree in processor until smooth. Sprinkle flour, salt and pepper on
top; mix well. Add eggs, cream and cheese; mix well. Pour into buttered
gratin dish. Bake 45 minutes at 350 or until set and lightly browned on top.
Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Pick them while they are still small - no longer than 6 inches. That
strategy will help a bit.

Slice lengthwise, brush with oil, season, and grill.

Put it in a big bag, slip over to a neighbors porch at night and leave
it against the door. Don't let them see you or they will turn out the
lights and pretend not to be home.

I just slice it and steam in the microwave. Add a little butter and
parmesean cheese.

Jill...tofu will produce the same results! <vbg> God's most
tasteless vegetable.

I love fried zucchini. I love it stewed with tomatoes and yellow
squash. I like raw zucchini with ranch dressing. I also like it raw
and marinated in Italian dressing -- tomatoes are good in this. My
school's old reading series used to contain a story called "From Seed
to Zucchini." Most of my class of first graders had not tasted
zucchini, so I would bring one in and let them taste it raw with ranch
dressing.

Tara

Grate zuc and put in frying pan with fresh lemon juice, ground pepper
and salt and stir fry just a little bit....sprinkle with parmesan when
finished if you like....YUM!

We usually slice it into about 1/4" rounds, boil it for about a minute and
them sauté it in butter and then top with fresh grated Parmesan.

My favorite way is to saute equal amounts of sliced onions, green apples
and zucchini in a bit of butter. DELICIOUS!

Sounds wonderful, a take on fried onions and apples. To you just cook
until soft or caramelize them or somewhere in between? Yummm...

What Sheldon said, but hollow the halves out a little, after slicing and
fill them with peas after you grill them. Keeps the peas from rolling
around the plates! :-)

cut a 8 to 10 inch zuke in half both ways so you have 4 semi circle
tubes about 4 to 5 inches long. cut each tube into 4 or 5 planks. Get
some Italian salad dressing (I use the cheapie stuff). Put the zuke
planks on a hot grill and brush with the dressing. I like a dash or 3 of
maggi sauce mixed in with the salad dressing.

So they don't have drive by zuuccini-ing in your part of the world? Pick
somebody else...like a stranger, a church or a food bank. Unexpected
kindnesses are the best gift to give, it improves the soul of at least 2
people...you and the receiver. Makes you smile all day.

Usually till just soft, but don't want the zucchini to be totally mush.I
usually start the onions and apples first as I'm slicing the zucchini
up, and by the time I toss it in they all finish about the right time
together. It is a wonderful combination.

Hello.

I'm new to the group and enjoy it very much. I thought I'd test this
one out on you cooking experts.

I'm not a fan of tomatoes and the boyfriend and I both have a bit of a
sensitivity to them--like a harmless allergy. How would you replace
the tomato in things like stews and Italian food?

Thanks!

I would simply make recipes that don't call for tomatoes. There are tons
of Italian recipes that don't use tomatoes.

Add a small amount of parmesan or similar cheese freshly grated on for
the last few minutes of cooking. I usually start my zuc cut side down
on the grill and then flip them over to add the cheese. Simple and
super tasty.

There's a really simple zuc soup recipe on MSN. Can't find the dratted
thing right now. It's basically just chop up a bunch of zucchini (I'm
remembering something like 1 1/2 lbs), cover with stock (3 cups?) and
simmer until tender. Puree then slowly add grated cheddar (3/4 cup? - I
used a Mex. blend as that's what we in the house) and allow that to melt
in. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Can be served hot or cold.
Only takes about 20 minutes start to finish, so was really nice for a
weeknight dinner.

Hmmm, I'm sure I posted something about this a while back. *searches* Ah,
here we are

"Zucchini slice is easy and yummy, great hot or cold (good for lunches),
freezes well etc. Unfortunately I don't have the recipe on me ('tis packed
away somewhere in renovation-land), but I think it's something like:
500g zucchini, grated
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
seasoning to taste
chopped bacon (optional - i've also used chestnuts inna vegetarian version)
grated cheese

Mix all ingredients except cheese, spread in slice tray, sprinkle cheese on
top, bake in mod oven until set inside and golden on top. Or something.

Shall post proper version if I find it, but I usually just use it as a
guide anyway, so you can probably figure something out :P

I've also had it inna cake (like a zucchini version of carrot cake), and
it's good in curries."


You can also put it in soup, or stuff-and-bake it, or make ratatouille. I
do a vegie nacho topping in which it plays a major part.

Enjoy

You could try roasted red pepper instead.

Even better crust: dredge in fluor, then in egg and then in breadcrumbs. The
natural humidity of zucchini will keep the flour attached.
