Our zucchini plant (which was a swap with Jen and Jason S.) is huge and of course producing more zucchini than we can eat. So far I've managed to find enough people who are taking some of it off my hands as the three of us can only eat so much in a week.
I brought this dip to a friend's house and to the PH Women's Group a couple of weeks ago and it was quite tasty: Roasted Vegetable Dip. I used it as a spread in my sandwich the next day. I was also thinking of trying this recipe although I need to go by Vine Ripe Market to pick up some harissa first: Mediterranean Roasted Zucchini Dip Recipe
I've also grilled quite a bit of zucchini, sauteed in with a bit of soy sauce, and dipped it in flour and fried it up. When I serve it fried with some mango chutney or apricot preserves for dipping, even my toddler will eat it. So far my husband hasn't found a zucchini bread recipe that he really loves, but he's rather particular about bread :)
I also have a few books out from the library that have good zucchini recipe selections:
- Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian: More Than 650 Meatless Recipes from Around the World
- Madhur Jaffrey's World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking
- The Big Book of Easy Suppers: 270 Delicious Recipes for Casual Everyday Cooking
This time of year both Sunset
Does anyone have any good recipes or recipe books to share?
So far my favorite has been the fried zucchini with mango chutney, but when you've got ten pounds of zucchini to eat every week, even that gets old. Maybe it can be preserved?
ReplyDeleteI just ran across several interesting recipes for zucchini on Folia (see button on left side bar to join). Check these out:
