Title: Zuchini sandwich
Post by: Humptulips on August 17, 2018, 08:14:05 PM
If you plant a seed then what do you do with all the darn things? :chuckle:
So I tried a sandwich. Cooked it on the griddle along side a burger. Just a little grease to keep it from sticking and some johnnys sprinkled on it. Don't cook too long, flip and reseason. Needs to be still firm. Bread, mayo, zucchini and a slice of fresh tomato.
Never replace a blt but it ain't bad.

I eat them raw on salad. Sliced like a cucumber.

Or in spears with blue cheese dressing.

You could always try zucchini pasta! I've tried it once and it turned out pretty darn good!

Zucchini season, lock your car.  Big ones make great boats, sows love them, mock apple pie is passable and a bunch disappear in stir fry.

Hollow them out and stuff with meat and cheese, then deep fry.

Zucchini, beets and onions lightly oiled and seasoned with your favorite seasoning salt. Makes a great pairing with almost any  BBQ... and yes the Zucchinis are  easy to grow... but hard to keep the rats away from grrr

Zucchinis gross me out  :puke:

My wife makes killer zucchini bread, and everytime she does we argue, I say
"if you take the zucchini out of the recipe, it would be just as good"
I mean seriously, you don't put enough in to even taste it, so it just adds little green flakes. And the bread batter is killer without the zucchinis  :dunno:

So why put that nastiness in all that goodness  :hello:

 Frying it and making bread is the best way is to eat it.

I used to deep fry it,now I like to sauteed it with olive oil and seasonings, then when they get soft I'll add a tablespoon of butter and panko to the pan and lightly Brown it,really good

The in-laws got some when they were here. Thin sliced, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with Johnie's seasoning salt and Garlic powder and on to the bbq. Turning until crisp like a potato chip. Pain in the butt, but not bad. Couldn't tell what they were. They even did the same with cucumbers. Next season the wife wanted to grow some Zucchini. There was bread, chips etc.. and I remembered why I hate zucchini. Never again. In fact, I have not eaten Zucchini since that year.
And as stated, you could not give the stuff away.

Get a spiralizer or whatever you call it and make zucchini spaghetti out of them. Really good and better for you than actual spaghetti.

I also love them raw with some ranch or blue cheese. Just don't let them get too big.

That’s pretty cool do you cook them at all or just use them raw?

By don’t let them get to big you mean pick them every 30 minutes lol

We do something very similar with the chips except on a dehydrator. They disappear about a fast as I can make'em.

Great ideas in here. I need to fry some more before they're all done. I filled a 2 gallon bag with frozen slices to use in the off season.

These actually turned out great... zucchini brownies. I was surprised

Being the head-eater is a heavy burden. I hope you take it as serious as I do! Someone has to protect the family from potential poisoning.

I pre-eat as much as possible to make sure everyone will be safe. Sometimes before it's even cooked.

Post by: gaddy on August 21, 2018, 02:27:32 PM
I'm not concerned about poisoning, but as head-eater in my family I find it important not to allow the others to over eat. I worry about their health, weight, and don't want them to feel the discomfort of having over eaten. Happens every thanksgiving. I consider it taking one for the team. Also, for some reason I always end up with the serving forks. I get crap for that all the time.  :chuckle:

 We make these "noodles" a lot . Saute them in a little olive oil or butter,it doesn't take much cooking time . They have a way better pasta like texture if you slice them put them in a paper sack or paper towel lined baking sheet for a day or two in the fridge . Gets rid of moisture . :twocents:

 You can also make Zuchini lasagna . Replace pasta with thin Zuke slices . Follow same tip as above to get rid of excess moisture . Turns out pretty dang good !

The wife spiralizes them, then fries them with olive oil and a little seasoning.  She then adds them to her spaghetti made with ground Turkey.

All this is done while I order myself a pizza.

I made a lasagna and it was fantastic, albeit a bit runny. I just pulled the trigger n a dehydrator. Going to tray again with the dry zucchini, in hopes that it will soak up the liquid.

My wife salted the zucchini and let it pull some of the moisture out and then grilled it. Came out prefect doing it that way. I can’t stand runny lasagna or spaghetti.

don't cook the noodles just add them dry,the moisture will cook the noodles and makes for a less runny sauce..usually..

I salted and squeezed, but also used some greens and veggies, and my sauce was a little loose.

My new dehydrator showed up yesterday, and I already have a batch of zucchini drying. Going to pull it with just a bit of moisture left so it's pliable. We'll see what happens.

"Only plant on zucchini plant", the wife says. What do I do? Plant four. Go big or go home, right? Now I have no home left because the zucchinis have taken over. 73 zucchinis later (not exaggerating - I've been keeping track), and no end in sight. Looks like Carpsniperg2 has central Klickitat Co. covered with the zucchini supply. Anyone in the west-central part of the county, namely Klickitat and White Salmon, need any??  :chuckle:

Yes. I've done this dozens of times, though zucchini will never replace eggplant in good old Parmesan.

My favorite thing to do with zucchini?

Tempura. And while I'm at it with my big bowl of Tempura batter, I manage to cook up some Japanese Eggplant, Broccoli, Asparagus spears, Carrot & Onion fritters, Sweet Potato, Green Beans, White or Crimini Mushrooms, and of course - Tiger Prawns. LOTS of Tiger Prawns.

Some reason Zucchini tastes best this way  :chuckle:
