Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini!!! - iCook - 08-25-2009 Like most gardeners, my zucchinis have really been popping lately. I recently tried a new recipe for Zucchini Parmesan Soup in the Cuisine at Home - Soups and Stews cookbook. We love it and I have been making double batches as fast as I can. I intend to freeze some for winter. What else is everyone making with their abundance of zucchinis? I'd sure like to try something new. Any great recipes out there? Re: Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini!!! - Mare749 - 08-25-2009 I put the small ones in salad and the larger ones on the grill. My mom used to make zucchini pancakes or fritters and we always liked those. We like to add sauteed zukes to stuffing mix for a veggie type dressing. Thanks for reviewing the soup recipe. That may be the one we tried a while back and liked a lot. Re: Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini!!! - piano226 - 08-25-2009 Try Blueberry Zucchini bread from All Recipes. It was really good Re: Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini!!! - cjs - 08-25-2009 Here's a thread talking about zucchini from a year ago and it starts out with my review of this soup - we loved it also!! AND the Red Pepper mayo with Cheesy Pita Chips was super also! http://www.forums.cuisineathome.com/ubbt...=true#Post61514 Lots of ideas here for zucc. Thanks for bringing this up again - I had forgotten about it and we, too, have zuccs and other squash coming out our ears. ![]() Re: Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini!!! - labradors - 08-25-2009 Although I don't have many zucchini recipes, this got me curious, so I looked around for some recipes. On Plate Online, the following two sounded interesting. Remember, though, that their recipes are often restaurant oriented, so you'll probably need to scale them down a bit.

Re: Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini!!! - chef_Tab - 08-26-2009 My daughter made the Zucchini cakes with Diavolo sauce from the C@H email recipes and loved them. If you cannot access them, I can see what I can do. The email was sent on Aug. 7. Re: Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini!!! - esgunn - 08-27-2009 Those zucchini cakes are GOOOOD! Re: Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini!!! - chef_Tab - 08-27-2009 Erin, they are on my list to try as soon as I can get to a farmers market. Tomorrow is supposed to be a great market downtown. One of the upsides of moving is discovering new places to shop. |
