Hello, All,
Have a nice zucchini in the garden that looks like it will be ready for picking tomorrow. I'm thinking of cutting it into slices, liberally salting and peppering them, and sautee-ing them in butter. Since I'll probably have more come in before the summer is over, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, or favorite recipes for garden-fresh zucchini?
Thanks, All! :-)

I love making "noodles" out of them (I have a "julienne" veggie peeler, so instead of long wide strips, I get thin, noodle-like strips).
I then toss those noodles in a bit of seasoning and saute in butter or bacon fat. Sometimes I sprinkle a bit of parmesan cheese.
I also like making zucchini boats. Cut the zucchini in half down the long side so you get two halves. Scoop out the middles, then stuff them with a mix of cheese, nut "flour", the zucchini you removed (chopped up), and spices.
Drizzle with olive oil or coconut oil and bake until crisp. Yum!!0 -
Ditto on "zoodles"...I have a spiral slicer thing that makes zucchini look like spaghetti. I made shrimp scampi the other day. Sauteed the zoodles in garlic and butter, added little white wine, threw in some cooked thawed shrimp, and sprinkled with Parmesan - YUM!0

I like mixing a clove of crushed garlic, salt and olive oil, then brushing them with the mixture and grilling them. It's really wonderful!0

On th weekend I shred one and ring out the liquid in a towel and cook them in a skillet with butter or bacon grease like hash browns.0
