Thank you so much for these recipes!
I think I (or DD#2) am going to be grating zucchini's until the
cows come home. LOL!
While I was at-home-working at my table today DD#2 came in with
two bat-sized zucchini and (I couldn't tell how many)
right-sized zucchini which she packed up in a bag and said
"Don't worry. I'm giving these away." As she was walking out she
asked me to please find a recipe for zucchini dinner tonight. I
said "I'm on it!" ;D
Later, after I finished working, I went out to my patio to find
SIX! bat-sized zucchinis. :o
Tonight I think I'll start with Rho's recipe, simply because I
have all of the ingredients. ;) Although you didn't specify what
type of cheese. I have swiss, cheddar and fresh parmesan (to be
grated). I think I'll go with the parmesan. and maybe add some
lemon (ala Gellchom ;))
Gellchom -- I have most of the ingredients for the dish you
suggested except for the almonds. I do have a fresh jar of mixed
unsalted nuts that I could chop up finely and toast . . . but
there was a recent thread or post "Why didn't my meal taste as
good as yours?" because of substituting ingredients, so I didn't
want to mess with a good thing. ;)
Hmmm -- I need to go shopping for ingredients! Or, preferably,
wait until our Roma tomatoes are ready to pick fresh off the
vine. Both of these recipes sound divine!
STiG -- Both your cake and loaf thoughts sounds wonderful. I
love citrus in anything. Please post your recipes when you have
time.
nuku -- Apple and zucchini crisp? Sounds intriguing. I would
love to see your recipe as well!
Oh -- and it's good to know that shredded zucchini can be
frozen! ;D
I'm dubbing this "The Year of the Zucchini!" ;D This is the
first time DD#2 grew zucchini in the garden. I don't think
she'll put in so many plants next year.
Thank you all for your replies . . . please keep them coming!

I'm looking at two that are about two-foot long and maybe 3inch
in diameter.

They are already way too big and will be completely flavorless.
But my grandparents used to grow them to that size and bigger as
the only way to prepare zucchini they knew was the following:
Cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out kernels. Mix kernels with
ground meet (usually half beef half pork), egg and some bread
crumbs. Fill the zucchini halfs with the mixture (there will be
a mound over the cut part). Scatter some grated cheese over it.
Bake until done.
Next time get them when they are less than a foot long. Slice in
thin slices lengthwise and grill or cut in slices and pan-fry on
olive oil. Toss with crushed garlic and olive oil. Serve right
away or marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

I’m sure it would be good with any kind of nuts. What wouldn’t?
:)
(I love nuts)

oops--methinks the original recipe called for cheddar or
mozzarella or maybe a mix of both. I always have odds and sods
of various cheeses and toss in whatever needs using up first.

Because I like all things fried, I recommend looking up recipes
for zucchini fritters or pancakes. Also breaded and fried
zucchini sticks with dipping sauce.
A simple dish my family like is mix grated zucchini with beaten
eggs and heat up in a pan. Like a very simple frittata. Toss in
other veggies and cheese if you like more than one flavor.

I turn them into soup. Bake up some Italians sausage links and
chop them up, toss them in a pot with chicken broth, canned
tomatoes- I use diced and paste, dice up your zucchini and add
them with all the herbs and garlic. So yummy.

Do you barbeque? Barbequed thick slices of zucchini with just a
little oil, salt and pepper are quite a nice side and easy to
make. Just don't burn them.

DD#2 made an awesome Zucchini pizza last night.
She sliced a big bat into 3/4-inch thick slices, laid them on a
cookie sheet (this was the crust). Topped them with olive oil
mixed with finely chopped fresh basil from the garden and a
dollop of tomato paste. She browned some ground italian sausage
meet with garlic and put that on top of the tomato paste. Then
covered each slice with provolone and slices of pepperoni.
Baked at 350 for about 10 minutes, then put it under the broiler
so that the cheese and pepperoni would crisp up.
Topped with a bit more fresh basil and served.
I told her that this was definitely a keeper recipe. She told me
that she made it up, it sounded good so why not try it?
It was very good. ;D

I went to an Italian deli today. They had parmesan stuffed
zucchini. I tried one. The zucchini are sliced into sections
about three inches long, hollowed out and stuffed with a
breading, meat, parmesan & seasoning filling and a little melted
cheese on top. I don't know the exact recipe. But, it might be
an interesting thing to experiment with.

Look up 'stuffed zucchini recipe' and many will pop up from
vegetarian to taco to cheesy with different ground meats.
Tomorrow I will make a zucchini, tomato, cheese layered
casserole that I used to bring to Thanksgiving dinner but now
make occasionally as a main dish.
