Whats you favorite zucchini recipe? We planted zucchini and its our first year having a garden and we had no idea how much zucchini we were gonna need so now we have 7 plants. Its producing like crazy and I dont wanna get bored with it
Have you tried grilling them? I parboil mine, then grill it. You can do kebabs or slice it and grill it, or wrap it up in foil packets w/ onions, little dab of olive oil . . .
I like mixing chunks of zucchini w/ diced tomatoes . . . add a little bit of sugar, and some Italian spices (depends on what spices you like) . . . simmer over low heat. I have a recipe for that somewhere . . . and Ratatouille . . . have you tried that? I will see what recipes I can dig up.
You can send some of that zucchini over here if you get tired of it, Hee Hee.
Here is a nice one I enjoy. I got it from Cooks.com

Wow this sounds really good. Thanks for sharing anifan. I too, will have a ton of zucs in a week.
Thank you anifani, I can't wait to try your recipes. All of the others sound great too. Now does anyone have a recipe for Zucchini Bread, I haven't had that sweet tasting bread since my g'ma made it and that recipe is gone. I am the only "girl" in the family (inc. my cousins) that cook and no one knows the recipe.
