QUICK AND EASY BAKED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 240°C / 450°F (220°C fan) with the oven shelf set high in the oven.
• Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut medium zucchinis in quarters lengthwise, and large ones into sixths (halve then cut each half into 3 lengthwise to make 6 long "wedges").
• Pile zucchini on a tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Toss.
• Line up in two rows so they're touching each other, with the skin side down.
• Sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs, then parmesan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.

LYNDA'S FAVORITE ZUCCHINI HOT DOG RELISH

Steps:

• 1. Grind 10 cups of zucchini and place in large pot (with a lid). Add the salt and garlic salt. Cover with cold water and soak overnight. (I add lots of ice cubes and place pot in a cool place. If not, put it in the fridge!)
• 2. The following morning, drain and rinse well in a large colander. Return to pot and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Seal in jars while the relish is very hot.
• 3. Place jars in canning pot and cover with water. Boil the submerged jars for at least 15-20 minutes to make sure seals are airtight. Remove jars from canning pot with tongs and place on a towel in your sink until they cool (this prevents jars from cracking).
• 4. After opening a jar of relish, store opened jars in the fridge!

ZUCCHINI SALAD (SPIRALIZED)

Steps:

• Spiralize zucchini using the larger blade on a spiralizer. (see note if you do not have a spiralizer).
• Chop zucchini noodles a couple of times so they are manageable to eat and toss (about 3").
• Slice onion as thinly as possible and add to the zucchini.
• Add remaining ingredients and gently toss.
• Allow to sit for 15 minutes before serving.

ITALIAN ZUCCHINI STEW

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat and add the ground beef, onion, garlic, pepper flakes, green pepper, celery, salt and pepper and sauté until meat has browned and the vegetables almost tender.
• Add zucchini, potatoes, tomatoes and water. Bring to a gentle bubble, cover and reduce heat to low to medium low and cook for ten minutes.
• Remove cover and add in tomato paste and cook for a few more minutes or just until the zucchini is cooked. Do not overcook the zucchini.
• Remove from heat and add the cup of Parmesan and taste for additional salt and pepper.
• Serve with additional Parmesan and crusty bread.

VEGETABLE CROQUETTES - VEGAN

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until soft, and then mash.
• Melt vegan margarine in frying pan, add garlic, onion and curry powder. Cook until lightly browned. Add carrot and zucchini and continue to cook until soft.
• Remove from the heat, add potatoes, and leave for a short time to cool. Add egg replacer mix, 2 tablespoons of crumbs and vegan parmesan and mix well.
• When mixture is cool enough, shape mixture into small logs. Combine extra crumbs and parsley, then roll croquettes in the mixture until coated.
• Heat enough oil in frying pan to cover it, the croquettes will also soak a lot of it up, so you will need to add some more as you go. Fry Croquettes on both sides until golden brown, and drain on absorbent paper.
