Personally, I usually take the least healthy (but yummy!) way to prepare it, by simply slicing it, dipping in a corn meal batter, apply seasoned salt and black pepper, then frying it in a pan of oil. I usually fry onions in with it, and fried potatoes also go great with Zucchini. Yep, I said frying, fry, fried... Ha-ha!
Now of course, there are many healthier ways to use your green squash. A few moments ago, I just sort of stumbled into a recipe page while browsing the world wide web. After landing on that page, I was like "damn, it is green squash galore." That page had like 20 recipes on it, providing instructions on how to make stuff like:
Yogurt-Zucchini Bread with Walnuts, Zucchini with Roasted Almonds and Zucchini Bread Croutons, Zucchini with Parmesan, Greek-Style Stuffed Zucchini with Tomatoes, Zucchini-and-Pepper Gratin with Herbs and Cheese, Ravioli and Zucchini Lasagna, Shrimp-and-Feta-Stuffed Zucchini, Spaghetti with Grilled Shrimp, Zucchini, and Salsa Verde, and many more...

Thanks for the link! I love Zucchini and now I have even more recipe ideas! Yellow squash is also good, and I actually like to mix the green in with it for the different colors.
ReplyDeleteHey there... You actually bring up a good point, when you spoke about colors.
ReplyDeleteCreating a colorful meal full of variety that looks appealing, not only insures that you are getting plenty of nutrients, vitamins & minerals, but it also helps make it taste even better. It is sort of a mind trick, I suppose; cheers!
