Picked my first zucchini from the garden and have been wondering what to do with it. Squash is not my favorite veggie, but I know it is good stuff nutritionally.
I came upon a blog today that talks about fried battered squash. I must admit it looks good. See for yourself here.
I also have made zuccanoes in the past with a recipe doctored up from the Moosewood Cookbook- very yummy, but the kids are not as fond of it and it requires baking, which in an un-airconditioned house does not appeal to me.
So, I will try this fried squash recipe and see how that goes over. By the way, I tried fried cheese at the North Market today- fantastic! That topped off with a smoothie from Bubbles and we were all set- a real treat.

We love the zuke around here.
Zuchhini bread, zucchini pancakes (yummy), zucchini-chocolate cake, fried zucchini, zucchini in stir fry, zucchini in salad, steamed zucchini etc.

Thanks Katy,
I was dreaming about zucchini bread this morning as I woke up- got a good recipe?
I am thinking about adding zucchini to hashbrowns.
I bet Alea could figure out what to do with it!
I got it! I saw this on a cooking show a while back with this recipe:
Shred up the zuccini and mix it into ground pork sausage to make meatballs! The zuccini keeps the meatballs very moist, which is sometimes necessary with pork.
I don't remember where this comes from, but I believe somewhere in South or Central America.
I found a recipe for zucchini and pork meatballs :

I just may give it a try. Tonight I am going to use 1/2 the zucchini cut up into rounds, breaded and fried for a side dish- and I may even salt them :-)
Thanks for your idea Frank.
