Zucchini relish or what to do with extra zucchini

Gotta do something with all this. Been eating sautéed and fried zuchinni for a while. Probably make a larger batch and can it this week. Pretty tasty. Got a bit of a twang to it.

And this is not all of it.

I grill mine when I have extra. Little soy or sesame sauce and it comes out delicious

The relish is even better chilled.

For tonight, shrimp scampi over zucchini noodles. We have a tool that dices stuff pretty small. Skinned the zuc and pushed it through the tool to make noodles. Sautéed in olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper.

Try picking them when they are half that size.

Slice it up and fry it!

Too easy, sliced and sautéed in olive oil is the quick go too. Breaded and fried when we have the time. Looking to step outside our norms. That's where the relish and noodles came from.

Some of the bigger ones hid and got away from us. Made great noodles though. Good for relish too. Keeping the smaller ones for frying up.

I slice them, put oil on them salt and pepper, a dab of balsamic vinegar, and crumble some goat cheese or feta on them. Bake at 400 until the cheese is melted.

Look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here with his feta cheese and balsamic vinegar etc

Only had squash a few ways - in a casserole and fried.

When I was growing up in Michigan, for a couple years there was a bumper crop of zucchini. Everyone had a surplus of zucchini. Not just a little more than they needed, but multiples of what they needed. You couldn't give it away.

People resorted to leaving shopping bags full of zucchini on their neighbor's porches. Doing it in the middle of the night ensured anonymity and completely negated the possibility of refusal.

It backfired once when we returned from gifting six or eight shopping bags (That was a typical daily surplus. The stuff is more prolific than kudzu.) to find ten new bags on our porch! The shopping bags were from two different supermarkets, so it was more than one neighbor delivering.

It's better with zucchini than squash. I also like goat cheese better than feta. And when I'm feeling extra fancy a dab of honey puts it over the top.

crap, Im sorry folks, I started thinking squash.
As for zucchini - fried and sauted like at the Japanese places, thats it. Im pretty sheltered on squash and zucchini.

There is a tool that makes zuchini into noodles. I have been eyeing getting one to add to my low carb meal options.

make some zucchini bread

Zuchinni Relish!!!!

Hint: After cooking take it outside to sit. The smell will kill small dogs and kids before you are able to can it!!

Still coming on.

Did a zucchini boat filled with pork BBQ. Last week.

Tonight, lasagna. Layered zucchini, provolone cheese, pepperoni, and one layer of pizza sauce. Baked in the oven.

Had me some zucchini spaghetti a few days ago at GoWolfpack's house. Pretty darn good!

Yes it is. I made the first couple runs square, in a grater attachment we have. The last 2 we have done I used a peeler to cut it down to the seeds. Much better texture using the peeler. Nice thin strips.

I made them again last night and didn't get them so mushy. Better except for cutting my thumb on the peeler. But I have more so I will keep plugging away at it.

My wife made some zucchini bread yesterday and she used some Einkorn flour. Our modern wheat tears my intestines up so I did some research and found that we can get the non genetically modified flour which is made from Einkorn wheat which is an ancient grain. It's never been tampered with and they don't use chemicals on it. I've had a couple pieces of her bread and so far no reaction. We have ordered some more and are looking forward to other recipes.

My old lady will puree our extra and freeze it in zip lock bags. She makes zucchini bread ever other week or so and it is amazing.
