Zucchini

[Meenah]

It is that time of year, lots of zucchini at the Farmer's Market. Anyone have a favorite recipe? I just found this one that I am going to try. From www.southernfood.about.com


Zucchini squares, a quiche-like recipe made with eggs and zucchini.
Ingredients:

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; mix well. Pour mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cut into squares and serve as an appetizer or side dish.

I make zucchini pancakes, same concept as potato pancakes. I shred green and yellow together for some color and sometimes add a carrot, if I have one. The one major difference is that I use bread crumbs instead of flower for zucchini.

Mmm all of those look really good, but I tend to keep it simple... to quick ideas are:

1. Cut in half, sprinkle adobo or other seasoning on inside of each half. Roll in foil and cook on the grill!

2. Cut into pieces and mix with garlic and tomatos and seasonings - sautee.

I haven't had them myself, but my SIL swears by Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes and I'm intrigued:

I love zucchini!!

I've done a Zucchini Corn Cake recipe from Wegmans:

I also love Zucchini Lasagna - a little heavy for summer, but I'm sucker for the pasta/cheese combo with a veggie in it: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/...hini%20lasagna

You could also do stuffed zucchini - halve it, scoop out a bit of it, fill it with already browned ground beef/turkey plus some diced peppers. It would be this recipe, but not with yellow squash: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/...uffed%20squash.

It's also great grilled, roasted, etc. Skewer it and do kabobs. There's a recipe that DF loves that involves kabobs and a yogurt dressing: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/...yogurt%20basil

I could go on and on - I think we buy zucchini every time we are at the grocery store!

Have fun figuring out what to do with it!
