safe chutney using zucchini?
Comments (7)Thank-you Flora for that link! I like the look of that one better than the HFW recipe -- which I did indeed try to 'translate' into cups, tho' I didn't do it very well. (The original was published in the Guardian in 2007 under 'courgette glutney'). My English in-laws always chutney-ize everything from their garden and it's always delicious. I can never seem to find interesting vegetable chutney recipes published in North America. Thanks, DAve, for looking in the Ball -- yep, no zucc chutney there. And, while I have you, big thanks too for all your tomato posts -- I've harvested 70 pounds this year and have really relied on the good advice from the 'growing tomatoes' forum. Chutney search: the 'Marrow Chutney' recipe that Flora's link takes me to has approx 10-11 cups of low acid veg (zucchini and onion) and 2 cups of vinegar. Linda Lou's yummy zucchini relish recipe has 15-16 cups of low acid veg (zucc, onion, garlic, peppers) with 2.5 cups of acid. Both recipes call for salting zucchini overnight to remove water. This sounds like the two recipes are comparable, no, in terms of acidity? Thanks again -- Amy...See MoreSquash/Zucchini gone wild - recipes
Comments (8)Hey, Gurley, Thanks for the recipes! I have one or two recipes for Zuch bread, but will try yours. Sounds yummy! I've tasted a chocolate version, but did not have a recipe to bake it. Double thanks! Sounds yum! I use substitute melted butter for the hydrogenated oil in every recipe, cake mix or brownie mix that calls for vegetable oils, though. I have a recipe for soft and chewy Zuch cookies that I can post if anyone wants it. I also have one for an easy & fast Microwave 'Zuch & garlic-cheese dish'. This tastes great with any Italian meal. Wonderful alone for lunch (dinner) with toasted garlic bread and iced tea or with a nice glass of red wine. I like to thinly slice tomatoes and zuchinni and even some crookneck squash and put on a Tony's brand frozen pizza. Drizzle w/a bit of virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, basil, and Parmesan cheese, and bake. Turns a not-so-healthy junk food into something delicious and really good for you. ~ SweetAnnie4u...See MoreRECIPE: Apple (Zucchini) Crisp/or Pie

Comments (10)Hi Becky - I apologize in advance for the format - but here is a thread I saved from 04! (what we were doing discussing zucchini in January - I do not know...) Zucchini recipes Slice the yellow and green squash into 1/4" to 1/2" thick pieces (the smaller squash, about the size of a cucumber, work best for this recipe). Very briefly sautee them in a hot pan with a little butter, olive oil, etc. (NOT MUCH!) and just a TOUCH of fresh garlic until the garlic starts to brown. Pour in enough apple cider (NOT vinegar, cider) to just cover the squash, and braise over high heat until the squash is cooked to just under your desired tenderness. Remove the squash to a bowl. It will continue to cook, to don't make it too mushy. Over high heat, reduce the apple cider to about 1/2 its volumn, and pour over the squash, tossing to cover. Serve immediately. (kframe) ________________________________________ Daisyduckworth: Oh my goodness! Where do I start? Zucchini has to be one of the most versatile of vegetables - it can be used raw or cooked. I have many, many different recipes using it. It's wonderful in a quiche, or grated or finely sliced into just about any salad; but particularly grated into a coleslaw; it's great crumbed and baked, or just baked uncrumbed; it's yummy julienned and served with your favourite dip. They can be stuffed and baked, cook well on a barbecue......Below a few (trying to keep your waist-line in mind!). Zucchini with Coriander 2 capsicums (red, green or yellow) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, sliced 1 clove garlic, crushed 2 teaspoons coriander seeds, roughly crushed 2 zucchini, diced 3 tomatoes, chopped salt and pepper Cut capsicums into quarters, remove seeds.

Warm the oil in a saucepan, add onion, garlic and capsicum. Fry for 4-5 minutes, add coriander, zucchini and tomatoes. Stir, cook for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Cook over medium heat until hot and wilted, 5-6 minutes. As for 'yellow squash', I can only assume you mean pumpkin, which is ANATHEMA to me, despite which I have lots of recipes for it. I'll await your confirmation of my suspicions before adding them. Asking for 'vegetable recipes' is a bit like asking 'how long is a piece of string?' You'll get a kerzillion different responses. However, some recipes below in which you can mix and mix and variety of vegetables of your choice - use the recipes as guides only, and let your imagination run wild. HONEY MUSTARD VEGETABLES 3 large onions, quartered 6 medium carrots, chopped 2 medium kumara (red sweet potato), sliced 1/3 cup olive oil 60g butter, melted 1/3 cup honey 1 tablespoons seeded mustard 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds Combine vegetables in a baking pan and drizzle with half the oil.

BAKED VEGETABLES WITH BASIL BUTTER 6 cups mixed sliced vegetables (carrots, cauliflower, capsicum, beans, zucchini, broccoli etc) 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves or 2 tablespoons dried basil 2 tablespoons parsley pinch nutmeg Put vegetables through a processor until fluffy. Cut 6 pieces foil about 30cm square. Place vegetables evenly on each piece and top each with 1 1/2 tablespoons basil butter. Carefully bring up edges of foil and fold into packets securely, leaving a little air space inside. Bake at 230 for 20 minutes until tender. DEEP FRIED VEGETABLE BALLS 2 cups cooked vegetables (eg. potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potato, parsnips, leftovers, alone or in combinations) 1 onion, chopped and fried 2 tablespoons flour pinch nutmeg (with pumpkin) pinch coriander (with parsnip) 1/2 teaspoon salt flour for rolling oil for frying Mash vegetables and mix in other ingredients.

Bake at 230C for 20 minutes until tender. ________________________________________ Posted by: compumom (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 04 at 1:57 Zucchini I like a few ways. One is to brush with olive oil and a bit of soy sauce and grill on some Reynolds "grilling foil sheets" or if you can't find that use their "Release" foil and make a few knife slits. Cook on the gas grill for a few minutes on each side. You can marinate in balsamic vinegar, a drop of olive oil, a touch of soy sauce and a minced clove of garlic. bake, bbq or broil. You can slice the zucchini long ways and steam until barely tender. Then sprinkle with parmesan cheese and stick under the broiler until brown. Lastly, cut zucchini in half long ways. Steam in microwave until barely tender. Fill with a cooked mixture of ground meat, tomato sauce to moisten, spices to taste, some bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Let me know if you need more specific instructions. I like them sliced and steamed with no real seasoning as well. Zucchini is especially versatile. ________________________________________ Posted by: ReneeKY (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 04 at 8:58 Wow, some delicious sounding things here. I'm glad this thread was sarted. We often will saute in a little butter and garlic, then sprinkle a very small bit (for me, a mountain of it for Mike) parmesian reggiano or asiago cheese on top. I also like zuchini with tomatoes...but I don't like squash with stewed tomatoes...maybe the color? I can eat zucchini slices raw though. Jude - there is a book called Joselin Diabetes Great Chefs Cook Healthy Cookbook that might interest you. It has some marvelous recipes and ideas. (I think a copy is coming home with me. Awesome stuff.) ________________________________________ Posted by: BeverlyAL (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 04 at 9:11 I'm another who is glad for this thread. I didn't realize just how boring my squash cooking had become. Now I can spruce it up a bit, which is good especially for me, as I don't care for broccoli, brussel sprouds or cauliflower. ________________________________________ Posted by: Cindy_Mac (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 04 at 9:41 I like to combine sliced yellow squash and sweet onions and steam for about 10 minutes then serve with a little melted butter. I don't know why but I rarely fix zucchini unless it's in a quick bread or those zucchini appetizer squares made with Bisquick. Here's a recipe (not low fat) that I haven't made in years. Creamy Zucchini Coarsely grate 2 or 3 medium zucchini and toss with a little salt. Set aside. Saute a large sliced onion in a little olive oil, or olive oil and butter. When tender, squeeze the zucchini dry; blend with the onions and saute, tossing for several minutes until almost cooked through. Blend in 1/2 cup heavy cream, a sprinkling of shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese, and salt & pepper to taste. Simmer for a couple minutes. Posted by: woodie2 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 04 at 11:17 I haven't made these in a few years, but I remember that this recipe was from some healthy living cookbook or magazine article. They were pretty good. BAKED ZUCCHINI STICKS 5 Zucchini (about 1-1/2 lb.) 2/3 cup Parmesan 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 1 teaspoon ground sage 1 teaspoon rosemary 2 eggs lightly beaten or Eggbeaters 1 tablespoon olive oil Cut zucchini lengthwise in half, then quarters. Mix cheese, crumbs and spices. Dip zucchini and roll in egg, drain and roll in crumb mixture. Spread out on greased 10 x 15 pan. Drizzle oil over. Bake at 450 degrees approximately 25 minutes. ________________________________________ Posted by: Mama_Tee (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 04 at 12:52 This is how we really love summer squash: Slice zucchini and yellow summer squash about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Then slice the same amount of onion in the same size slices. Put 1 T. of olive oil and 1 T. butter (more if you have lots of squash, but not too much!) in a large enough frying pan to hold the veggies, and heat. Once the oil is hot, throw in the squash and onions. Saute, stirring often, till they start to brown a little here and there, then turn down till just cooked and continue to stir occasionally (don't let them get mushy!), we like ours "al dente." Then serve! This is quick, easy and really good! Marty Posted by: RobinKateB (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 04 at 13:02 We love Zucchini here. Sebastian can eat a whole Zucchini on his own. Here are some of my recipes Zucchini with Nutmeg Slice Zucchini (I often cut them in to 1/2 inch sticks that are 2 inches long as they are great for Sebastian) Steam Zucchini until just tender Now toss it in a fry pan with a small amount of butter Sprinkle on salt, freshly ground pepper and freshly grated nutmeg. Cook over high heat for about 30 seconds note: the above recipe is also excellent with carrots. If you want to do both at once steam the carrots alsone first and when they have cooked for about five minutes add the zucchini Zucchini with Lemon Cook zucchini as above but add some whoel peeled garlic to the steamer (steaming it makes it a bit more mellow and sweet) throw in a pan with butter again, add the salt and pepper but this time add grated lemon zest. Before serving add some grated parmesan cheese -Robin ________________________________________ Posted by: Dances_in_Garden (My Page) on Thu, Jan 22, 04 at 10:38 Another fan of sliced, grilled zuchini and yellow squash here! I like it cooked through though. Partially cooked zuchini tastes bitter to me. I have grilled several at once, and used some for dinner. Some can be used for sandwiches (good crusty bread, spread one slice with tapenade and another with goat cheese, or creamy feta, add slices of cold or warm grilled eggplant, and a drizzle of your favorite vinagrette dressing...very good with roasted red peppers as well...if you make this pannini style and "grill" the sandwich we are talking NIRVANA here). You can cut it into chunks or strips, marinate it in dressing and add to lettuce salads or antipasto trays. Wrap it around various fillings, line in a pan, top with a good sauce and a sprinkle of cheese and bake for a special treat that is easy to make. This makes a good side dish for chicken, BTW. I also slice it thin, dehydrate it, then crumble and add to dips and dressings and muffins, and just about anything (of course, that is at desparate stage when the zuchini plants are taking over the world and lobbing child size squashes at us daily). ________________________________________ Posted by: cloudy_christine (My Page) on Thu, Jan 22, 04 at 13:45 Shred it it a food processor and sauté it in a little butter just until wilted. The easiest cooked vegetable there is. Add chopped herbs if desired. ________________________________________ Posted by: annie1992 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 22, 04 at 13:51 I use zucchini in place of potatoes for potato pancakes, and saute it just like Mama Tee, except I add a couple of cloves of chopped garlic to the onion & squash. Annie ________________________________________ Posted by: Faulks (My Page) on Thu, Jan 22, 04 at 15:18 Saute an onion or two and some garlic in a small amount of olive oil. Add sliced squash (either). Saute until tender. Sprinkle with parmesan or bread crumbs. You could also add a little sour cream, then the crumbs mixed with parmesan, but that increases the calories. This is my favorite way to eat yellow squash. Alternate for zuchini: Add chopped, fresh or canned tomatoes before the parmesan or bread crumbs. ________________________________________...See Moredigdirt2
