Default Mexican Zucchini

This recipe attracted me because the picture of the dish
looked really good. I haven't made it yet, but if I hit the
farmer's market tomorrow, I will soon. nancy

The vegetables are in larger chunks, not small dice.

1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb. zucchini, diced
1 large tomato, cored, seeded and diced
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp basil pesto
1/2 cup crumbled queso blanco
Fresh lime juice
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Cook garlic in olive oil in large skillet over
medium heat, 1 minute, stirring until sizzling.
Add zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, about
3 minutes or until slightly softened. Add tomato and
green onion and cook about 5 minutes or until tomato
begins to soften.

Remove skillet from heat; add pesto and queso blanco,
stirring until cheese melts. Season with lime juice, salt
and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

I haven't liked many courgette recipes but that does sound good!

One thing I like is that it doesn't have hot stuff in it)

I understand queso blanco as white cheese, yes? Could you explain the type
so I can get something similar, please?

that sounds really good. I suspect that the timing on the tomato
might be a little long and I would add the green onion last just
before serving.

Queso Blanco is cheese made from cow's milk and similar to a soft
paneer, but Ricotta Salata or Feta could be substituted.
http://cooking.stackexchange.com/que...o-queso-fresco

Try a zucchini and corn (use fresh when you can) combination
sometime... if you can't get past the cilantro (fresh coriander)
flavor, try leaving it out.
http://www.health.com/health/recipe/...733709,00.html
Or try this one with fresh basil

Sounds good. I have concerns about sizzling garlic, nothing like
burned garlic to ruin a whole dish, but I think Aaron knows what he's
doing.

You're welcome. I saved the recipe and set a reminder for zucchini
season. Hope it's good.

Never bumped into a Mexican who had a clue about Basil Pesto? You sure this aint some kind of Eyetalian deal?

I'm saving this recipe. Zucchini season is in full swing here! (Ditto
tomatoes.) I picked up several zucchini at the farm stand today. I'll
have to brave the 'Tienda y Taqueria' on Saint Helena to get some queso
blanco. I know they stock it.

I don't like going in there. They don't speak English and I don't speak
Spanish. I've been in there a few times. I discovered if you don't
have exact change they'll gladly keep the extra centavos and plead
ignorance about how to make change.

Heh. Have you ever tried the "traditional" carrot and zucchini (cut
into matchsticks/julienne strips) combination? I steam them, but give
the carrots a little head start so the zucchini doesn't overcook while
trying to get the carrots cooked enough. Just toss the hot veg with a
little butter and when plated, lightly dust with fresh parm cheese. I
don't bother with herbs, but you could experiment and see what you
like.

No I haven't I just need to learn how to zhizz them up because they don't
have much flavour and we aren't keep on what little they have. I guess we
need to mix them with something favourite. I had thought of grating them
into sauces etc. but I will try yours and Nancy's recipes.

Thanks

I saved that Jamie Oliver braised cabbage idea to my vegetable
Pinterest board and found another zucchini recipe for you to try. The
image is here, so you can get a better idea about what it should look
like. Add or subtract components at will.
http://www.healthierhabits.net/post/...sweet-potatoes

Potatoes, zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes, whole garlic cloves,
onions and tomatoes at 350 for 45 minutes. Dust with parmesan for the
last 10 minutes. I've made this sort of thing before with winter
squash, but it's worth a shot with zucchini. Remember to cut them
thick enough so they don't turn into mush while everything else is
cooking through.

Here's a link to my "zucchini" board.
http://pinterest.com/sfpipeline/zucchini/ You'll notice that I have a
lot of zucchini "boat" recipes on it. The reason why is because I
particularly like to prepare them that way. Fillings can vary from a
simple bread crumb stuffing to meat with tomato sauce and cheese,
depending on the role you want the zucchini boat to play in your meal.

Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? I made the *best* recipe the
other day using the guts of half a spaghetti squash I had lurking in
the freezer, so it was really fast. The components stayed the same,
but I didn't have any leftover rotisserie chicken to use, so I cubed
and cooked up a couple of chicken thighs.

Without oregano it ain't dago either... I'd call that recipe middle
eastern. And I'd definitely omit that gummy cheese. I harvested
about five pounds of green and yellow zucchini yesterday, gonna make
rat-a-p'tooie; gotta contain celery, onions, carrots, potatoes,
garlic, curley leaf parsley (no stinkin' basil/anise), canned peeled
plum tomatoes in puree, Penzys dago herb mix, olive oyl, s n'p, and a
couple three bay leaves... no gummy cheese... a little grated parm to
garnish is fine. Sometimes I do a rat-a-p'tooie with browned diced
pork shoulder... to really make it 'talian serve onna bed of
****ghetti, accompanied with lotsa dago red. Daughter visited
yesterday, went here for dinner:

It looked really good in the picture. Heh. I don't pay much
attention to the name of the dish. I love my short rib recipe
for Hungarian short ribs. Hungarian, why? the recipe calls for
1/4 teaspoon of paprika. I don't name them, I just eat them.

I don't know why people think folks in Mexico are clueless about other
cultures (or can't adapt to cooking from other cultures). There's no
reason to assume they've never heard of pesto. Mexicans grow basil.
And they use oil.

The vegetables are in larger chunks, not small dice.

1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb. zucchini, diced
1 large tomato, cored, seeded and diced
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp basil pesto
1/2 cup crumbled queso blanco
Fresh lime juice
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Cook garlic in olive oil in large skillet over
medium heat, 1 minute, stirring until sizzling.
Add zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, about
3 minutes or until slightly softened. Add tomato and
green onion and cook about 5 minutes or until tomato
begins to soften.

Remove skillet from heat; add pesto and queso blanco,
stirring until cheese melts. Season with lime juice, salt
and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.


Never bumped into a Mexican who had a clue about Basil Pesto? You sure
this aint some kind of Eyetalian deal?


Take it up with Aaron Sanchez, I guess.

I love your short rib recipe, it's wonderful.
