I have what seems like a million zucchini in my garden. Anyone know some good recipes?

Answer 1

I have two.

Slice them longways, into 3 or 4 slices. Put in a plastic back and pour in some olive oil. Then grill them. After they are done, sprinkle with salt and peper.

Zucchini Frittata

Cube 4 or 5 zucchini. Saute in a frying pan with a bit of oil until they are tender but not mushy.

Spray an smaller non-stick frying pan with PAM.

Transfer zucchini the small pan (so that the frying pan is full).
Mix several eggs with a bit of milk and grated parmesan cheese and a bit of black pepper.

Pour egg mixture over zucchini and cook on a low flame until the sides are dry.

Then put the frying pan under the broiler until the top is golden brown.

Cut into wedges.

While I cannot give you exact proportions, I usually use 5 medium zucchini, fry them in a 12" saute pan. I then trasfer them to a 10" pan. This usually takes about 1/2 cup of cheese and about 5 eggs.

Answer 2

Homemade Zucchini Pasta Sause ( pour over favorite boiled pasta)

2 or 3 zucchini cut into small squares

1 can tomato paste

1 can tomato sause

favorite Italian Spices- basil, organo, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and garlic.

your favorite pasta- mine is ziti or penne

optional- 3 cups of mozzerella cheese

Mix all the Ingrediants together in a sause pan or pot. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Then let boil for 10 minutes until zucchini is soft. Then pour over favorite pasta. I love zucchini ziti baked pasta. Top with Mozzerella chesse.

To make the Zucchini ziti baked pasta put in a oven safe pan for 10 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Until chesse is melted. Then ready to serve. Very Yummy!!

Answer 3

Just plain ol' grilling, on the outdoor grill or one or those stovetop pans with the grill ridges. Oil them up a little, season them (salt, pepper, maybe oregano or cilantro) and voila! A great sidedish

i also supposed you could make a lot of zucchini bread. I don't have a recipie for that but it should be fairly easy to look up.

Answer 4

Zucchini bread in small loaf pans, freeze for xmas give aways. Lucky you, the varmints got mine. Many recipes on the net.

Answer 5

Zucchini is like the vodka of veges, it adds body to all kinds of flavours. So it is good in cake, jams, etc, but I like it fried in butter with fresh tomatoes and garlic. Just slice the ingredients, fry, and serve as a side dish.....very very fast, easy, and great. enjoy!

BARBEQUED ZUCCHINI

Marinate zucchini in one bottle of Italian Dressing. Let marinate for about 3 hours. Place on grill and barbeque for about 5-8 minutes. No one can resist them. You won't be able to keep them on the grill!

Answer 7

1. Pan-fry round zuke slices in olive oil and garlic, throw in sliced onions, then cover with tomato sauce.

2. Cut into long strips, salt and let dry. Then coat with egg and dredge in flour, then fry them up. With tomato sauce and cheese, use these fried strips to build a lasagna-type casserole, then bake. Mmm mmm good.
