ZUCCHINI RECIPES ~ or courgettes as we Brits call them........!!!!!

Hi there!

I've just made this recipe for my lunch with some of my first zucchini & it was so delicious I had to pass it on to you.

Slice it very thin!

Hope you like it.

It keeps raining hard here with bright sunshine between the showers -- so there should be plenty more zucchini soon.

I am not a fan of raw zucchini, but that does look good.

I make zucchini flat "bread".

Mix grated zucchini (squeezed dry), duck eggs, mozzarella cheese, salt, minced garlic, and whatever herbs you want (I use minced fresh basil and greek oregano). Form in to a foccacia bread-type flat loaf on a silicon baking sheet. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350.

I cut this in to strips and dip it in spaghetti sauce. You can also dip it in garlic butter or spiced olive oil.

Since I do not eat wheat, this is my "bread stick" substitute. They aren't EXACTLY like bread sticks...they are floppier...but they are very tasty. In fact, I have some zucchini in the fridge I need to use up.

Guess what I am having for lunch??

I love how my granny made Calabasitas. Spanish for squash.

Saute onions and garlic in butter, olive oil, for what ever

then add summer squash. I like the green zukes or the yellow crooked necks or the patty.

Then a bit of sour cream and yellow cheese simmer til hungry and add salt and pepper to taste.

I like mine colorful so if I use green zukes I add corn or if I use yellow I add red bell pepers and use a green onion.

Hi there!

obsessed & wifezilla, great suggestions!

By the time everyone has a glut of them we should have a great selection of recipes ready to cook.

I found this collection over here in the UK ( so remember to adjust the measurements where necessary):-
