love zuchinni I'm glad to see more ways to prep it and more things to eat with it.

to OP's original question: I agree with many of the poeel above. Grilled with olive oil and seasoning of choice

I also like to use mine in the place of noodle sin a lasagna. I slice it think on a mandolin and layer it just as I would in a regular lasgna. Jus tmake sure the sauce isn't too runny b/c the moisture in the zuchinni will contrubute to the moisture of the dish. I use tomatoe paste in teh sauce to make it thicker.

If you can get a round one you can scoop out the middle, bake it, mix the middle with bulgar wheat and other veg and meat, stuff it back in and melt cheese on it
This meal was only 435 calories and it was amazing.

Add it raw to salads sometimes, I use a swivel-blade veg peeler to peel it into very thin strips, adds an interesting texture. Or cut into small batons and gently fry in a teaspoon of rapeseed or olive oil before adding slices of red onion and slivers of sun-dried tomatoes soaked in a little hot water (add the water too), loads of black pepper - yum!

I shred raw zucchini and cucumber into plain yogourt and add Garum Masala and lots of chopped fresh mint and fresh ground salt crystals for a raita. That way I can sneak zucchini past my husband he can't tell the difference between the two sorts of shreds in the raita. :devil:

Sliced raw zucchini makes an excellent guacamole delivery system.
