Zucchini

I don't know about zucchini muffins but my family eats zucchini slice a couple of times a week. There's a great recipe on taste.com.au for it. I make the recipe with however many zucchinis I have and add an extra egg or to if it's too dry. Turns out like a crustless quiche.

I like to just bake them, I cut them up with red peppers, carrots, onion, mushrooms, potaotoes, eggplant, squash, celery (or any combination of these and other veggies) and toss in a tbsp oil, add seasoning and bake till soft.

I then eat them as is as a side dish, or serve over rice, you could also toss the veggies in pasta sauce and serve with spaghetti.

I like to saute them in olive oil with mushrooms. Real Salt, Basil, and some other italian seasonings. I also like to saute just the zucchini with Real Salt and Season All in Olive Oil.

My father likes to saute them in butter and they are yummy, but high in calorie that way.

I love zucchini sauteed up with some garlic and onion in a little olive oil. Tossed together with a protein and chopped fresh herbs is really quick and tasty.




I will also slice or julienne it into brothy tomato soups with other veggies.




If you use a vegetable peeler you can shave it into "noodles" and top with marinara sauce.




Sometimes I like to slice it, layer it with italian cheese, tomato sauce, and basil then bake like eggplant parmesan




It's really good as a filling for enchiladas, quesadillas, sandwiches, or anything else you want to stuff




You can split them down the middle, scoop out the seeds, stuff them, and bake them




As already mentioned, there are lots of recipe to put zucchini into breads and muffins (chocolate chip muffin here)

I dont know if this dish is strictly mexican, but it's a family favorite (and we're mexican haha)

brown some protein of your choice. usually pork or beef works best.

add in some garlic and onions and brown them a bit

toss in some diced tomatoes

throw in some zucchini (i usually slice it into 4ths and then chop it into approx 1/2 inch pieces. if you cut it up too small it gets too squishy)

throw in a pepper of your choice-for flavor-i usually use a yellow pepper, you don't eat the pepper, just adds flavor, you don't have to cut it up either.

toward the end, rinse a can of corn and throw it into the pan with the rest of the ingredients.

top it with monterey jack cheese.

We call it Calabasas or Calabasitas. So delish!!

i'm sure you can find a recipe with more details but we never measure stuff with recipes we make frequently. you can adjust all the ingredients to your liking.

WOW nice pics, I have made zucchini bread and sauteed them and baked them but some of those pics are amazing, I am so making some of those dishes. Thank u for sharing

great to use up fresh veg and sometimes we go without the ham . It's a great recipe for the day after you have eaten too much. It always helped me lose.

Tme to make it again
