Julia Child’s zucchini soup:

I don’t put any rice or farina in it. The dill and vinegar are important.

I love to make zucchini bread- it freezes well, and is a nice treat in winter!

I can't personally vouch for this recipe as I haven't made it yet...but it looks delicious! https://smittenkitchen.com/202.....spaghetti/

I use it quite often in:
Ratatoullie, pasta primavera, fajitas, stir fry with tofu, or with couscous or quinoa.
I don't use recipes, just different combinations of veggies, protien, grains/potatoes/bread, and spices/sauce.

Do you remember zoodles, aka spiralized zucchini, popular maybe ten years ago. I’ve recently decided to make them again, will serve with ratatouille (the veggies, not the rodent).

How fun, Carla!

I don't usually have recipes I can share, I'm afraid. I cook off the cuff most of the time and hope for the best! But if you can wing it and follow this - it's VERY yummy!

Dice lengthwise onions, red peppers, and zucchini as you call it (courgette to me!). Fry it up in olive oil with garlic, ginger, salt, smoked paprika, and harissa. Add chopped parsley. Pop the stir fry onto individual plates.

Fry up halloumi cheese - both sides - in olive or avocado oil. Place that on top. Pic below. VERY simple supper and a yummy Mediterranean meal on a hot day.

Voila

Am I boring? I like my zucchini steamed with a little butter. Also, stir fry over rice.

Indigoprint, your veggie garden sounds amazing! Greek Halloumi cheese is not hard to find, so you're sorted. And cream cheese icing in the BEST

Irina, YAY! And the dish heats up well the next day as leftovers.

Thanks! Lot’s of new-to-me recipes. My usual has been to stir fry with other veg and serve as a side, use it in ratatouille, or render down to slush (made smooth with a stick blender) and toss with pasta. I’ve also used it with mushrooms in an omelette.

My favorite one, perhaps, is to cut lengthwise, add salt & pepper, squeeze some lemon juice on it and barbecue. Serve with tzatziki.

I make a version of this recipe that layers potatoes, tomatoes, and zucchini, with onions and peppers tossed with garlic and thyme, regularly. I use dried thyme when I don't have fresh, and much more parmesan cheese!

^^ do what Irina suggested above, but then put on ciabatta sandwich rolls with mashed avocado, provolone cheese, sliced tomato, basil leaves, red onion, spicy mayo.

My DDIL adds chocolate chips to zucchini bread. Yum. Even very fearful-of-veggies toddlers love and eat lots. You could frost it and calligraphy cake.

I was going to make Nikki's suggestion of the fried patties, but then I remembered that my kids' favourite recipe is chocolate zucchini cake! Because of you reminding me about it, I made this one this afternoon:

My husband likes these baked Parmesan zucchini sticks - a healthier alternative to fried zucchini. I use panko crumbs for extra crunch and make a ranch dip using plain Greek yogurt. Guilt free!

@ Laurie - I’ve got an over abundance of tomatoes too, and potatoes ready to harvest. I think you’ve solved a problem with your recipe.

@ JAileen - I want to make that soup.

@ Angie - I have put Halloumi on my shopping list. It’s a new-to-me cheese…

@ Debora - tried it! Easy! Dipped it in the mayo dip from Angie’s Cilantro and Lime chicken recipe. https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....drumsticks

I like to roast a large pan of sliced zucchini, onions, peppers, maybe small tomatoes and then use them throughout the week in salads, omelettes, pasta, etc. The key is getting the zucchini nicely browned (can also put in a grill basket).

Spiralized with marinara or bognese sauce, sliced and roasted with a generous dose of olive oil and parmesan, or sliced and pan-fried to toss in with a pesto chicken or pesto pasta. I've never done baking with it but all reports are it's wonderful that way too. Enjoy!!

We have this when we are in need of something indulgent and comforting, we add leeks to the recipe and serve with salad https://cookingmydreams.com/mu.....i-lasagna/

Zucchini slice is an Australian favourite, and can be served hot or cold, thin or thick. Here is a representative recipe https://www.delicious.com.au/r.....e/OioaYs5B

I personally omit the oil but DH always includes it.

@ Laurie - made the recipe you suggested. Easy. Used home grown potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, and thyme. It was soooo good.

*I used more Parmesan as well

Came across the idea of stuffed zucchini, which looks pretty good to me

Zucchini patty recipes abound but I haven’t tried them,

Zucchini salad: With small or medium size zucchinis slice lengthwise into long strips with a peeler. Do the same with Parmesan cheese. Dress with a lemon vinaigrette-I don’t remember if there is some Dijon in the dressing or not. Can add almonds. Eat as is or on a similar amount of lettuce.

I used to make a casserole type dish. Thin zucchini slices, already cooked rice, cheddar cheese, eggs, olive oil, salt and pepper, rosemary (careful with the rosemary as it quickly becomes overpowering). Bake in the oven.

Just what I made for lunch today! This is a traditional Bulgarian summer meal. Shallow fry 1kg of thinly sliced zucchinies on high, starting with 2 Tbspns sunflower oil. Salt and add another 2 Tbspns as you fry. Toss around in the pan as they go lightly brown. Smother in 500ml plain yoghurt with at least 4 large garlic cloves pressed inside.
