What is a good recipe to cook with zucchini?

Answer 1

This one is easy!
Eggplant & Sausage Penne

1 eggplant, diced small
1 lb. italian sausage
1/2 c. red wine
2-3 whole garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 - 2 c. beef broth
700 g. canned whole tomatoes, drained and crushed by hand
olive oil

Saute eggplant and garlic in olive oil until eggplant is soft. Remove to a plate. In the same pan, cook the sausage. Add the red wine and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the liquid. Add broth and the hand-crushed tomatoes. Return eggplant to the pan and salt to taste. Simmer up to one hour until the liquid has reduced slightly and sauce has thickened. Serve over penne or any other hearty shaped pasta.

if you want more taste, do the same thing with big mushrooms and tomatos, and stir well the pulp of all the vegetables together with the meat in the pan.

Answer 3

Fried Zucchini is awesome. Dip in a mild horseradish sauce for extra goodness.

Wash and slice small zucchini in 1/4 inch vertical slices. Dip in egg wash, then in rolled out cracker or dried bread crumbs mixed with salt & pepper & garlic powder. Fry in large skillet, turning once until golden brown.

Also get rid of those huge monster zucks you might have...I think it's so funny when people try to give me submarine size garden grown zucchini...LOL The babies are SO much more tasty.

1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
