zucchini again

[Den Socling]

We are once again up to our ears in zucchini. Every meal has some kind of zucchini. The other night, Patti made stuffed Zucchini. She used small zucchini and stuffed them like stuffed peppers. Very good. At the moment, I'm eating apple crisp. Just the apples are out and zucchini is in. You can't tell the difference.

Yes, Patti makes a good casserole with zucchini, hamburger, corn, tomatoes and onion. Very good stuff!

The zucchini I can't give away or eat, I shred and freeze as I like to add it to pretty much any tomato based sauces I make during the year.  Gives it a really good flavor and thickens the sauce.

We also have done same, we add small chunks to our red sauce for spaghetti use off shelf stuff for the main part but add hamburger; zucchini, peppers, onions etc...   We make a pretty big pot and freeze all the extra. 8)

Zucchini is responsible for the small town rule to always lock your car in the summer when it's unattended. If you don't, someone will leave a bag of Zucchini inside. There's not much defense if you drive a pickup unless you have a lockable topper.  ;D

Don't know if this would work for zucchini but I did it a lot with Okra. Rolled it in cornmeal and fried. Then when it was done I would spread on a big cookie sheet and set under a ceiling fan on high and stirred a couple of times. When it was good and cool I would bag and freeze. Then in the winter would let it thaw a little so it would break apart and warm in a skillet.

Not as good as fresh but not bad either.

When we still lived on the farm and were overrun with zucchini we would sneak out in the middle of the night and stick some in the neighbour's mailboxes  ;D . Fun times!

My son makes a good zucchini bread.Wife make a pie with zucchini and onions.She makes a relish with zucchini that is so good that I wont eat cucumber relish now.I make sweet pickles with zucchini in a gallon jar.In spite of the foolish jokes we are fortunate to have such a fast growing vegetable.

I have to agree, dad will run it through a grater and fry them up like hash browns with a little butter, he's also freezes it that way.

Was in the post office this morning some one left a big bag of it on the counter and walked off

The wife and I tried some new recipes with squash this year.


 
First we made yellow squash pickles from the ball blue book recipe and they are delicious. I was surprised how crispy the squash stayed.


 
Then we made a batch of zucchini sweet relish that tastes just like the sweet relish you buy in the store. That one took a while to chop.


 
And then everything else goes in a marinated salad called Jew Salad. That recipe came from a friends grandmother just before she passed. She made up the recipe while working as a cook during the depression for some Jewish people and never shared it with anyone. She knew I loved and passed it on to me so I am the only one that now has this recipe.

The only problem is my beer refrigerator in the basement is still full of zucchini ;D ;D

I made something called zuchinnia taco boats last night. brown up some ground turkey with your taco seasonings and onions and stuff in it. cleaned out a few of the squash like boats, boiled them for a minute or so, filled em with the taco meat, top with cheeseand bake for 30 minutes. if you do not cook the squash til its soft its not as good imo. 400 degrees on the oven.
oh yeah I used a 1/4 cup of the squash guts in with the taco meat.
im sure there is a more accurate recipe online,
