Problem with zucchini?

Question

Does someone out there have nice novel recipes for zucchini. Mind you i do not like steamed food. Thanks everyone

Answer 1

Try my version of a ratatoullie. Slice zucchini about 1 cm thick sprinkle salt on the slices and set aside for 10 mins. Do the same to an eggplant. Slice 2 beefsteak tomatoes about 1cm thick, slice an onion, cut up 250gm mushrooms and get some sliced lightly smoked ham and grated mozzarella cheese and some minced garlic. Panfry the eggplant in a little oil and lay the pieces n a baking dish, then follow the same with the zucchini on the eggplant. Then lay the ham over the eggplant and zucchini. Panfry the onion,garlic and mushroom and layer it over the ham. Add another layer of zucchini. Then fry up the tomato and put on top, sprinkle with bread crumbs and mozzarella cheese and grill until cheese is melted, cut and serve accompanying either steak or grilled chicken.

zucchini bread is always good.. use a banana bread recipe but sub shredded zucchini for the banana.. also you can fry it like okra. mix 1 cup cornmeal with a 1/2 cup of flour. add salt and pepper and maybe a little garlic powder. cut zucchini into 1/2 in thick pieces, dip the pieces in egg, and roll in the cornmeal mixture. preheat a skillet with oil or butter and fry zucchini till brown on both sides.
you could also saute' zucchini and onion together in a little butter as a side dish. season with salt and pepper.

Cook for 1 minute, then stir in flour and cook until smooth and bubbly. Add remaining ingredients and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce is smooth and thickened.

This is pretty served on a bed of rice - layer the zucchini and then the chicken breasts on top then pour sauce over each chicken breast! =] enjoy

Answer 4

My husband loves zucchini (he grows it in his garden). Here are two of his favorites.

Side dish

2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 cups zucchini, sliced (about 4 small zucchini)
1 teaspoon dried mint, crushed (if you have fresh – great, but use about 1 tablespoon)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash black pepper
2 tablespoons finely shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese

In a large skillet cook whole garlic cloves in hot oil until lightly brown; discard garlic.

Add zucchini; dried mint (if using), salt, and pepper to oil in skillet. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat about 5 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.

To serve, sprinkle with cheese and fresh mint (if using).

Main dish

4 large zucchini
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey
1/2 cup chopped cooked vegetables (such as sweet peppers, eggplant, and/or zucchini)
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon Mediterranean seasoning or other herb seasoning blend

In a Dutch oven or large saucepan cook whole zucchini in boiling, lightly salted water for 5 minutes; drain and cool slightly. Cut a lengthwise slice from the top of each zucchini. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out pulp, leaving about 1/4-inch shells.

For filling, in a medium bowl stir together the cooked chicken, vegetables, tomato, half of the cheese, and the seasoning. Spoon filling into zucchini shells. Place in a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.

Answer 5

Salt the slices of zucchini and press between paper towels for several minutes to get the extra moisture out. Brush with oil, sprinkle with pepper and other seasonings, and grill for a few minutes.

Answer 6

I use a slicer with a blade that has ripples, turn the zucchini 90 degrees each slice and it makes little waffles. Soak the slices in a beaten egg with 1/2 water, flour and fry. Serve in flour tortillas with feta and lettuce, maybe some mushrooms.

Answer 7

My favorite thing to do with zucchini is to fry it in a little olive oil until just tender.... add some seasoned salt and then..... scrambled eggs with it. Slice a tomato on the side with a piece of toast and a glass of milk... Makes a great breakfast or snack.

My mom used to make zucchini bread sometimes. I know it sounds disgusting but it's actually really good.
