Helpful Hints
1. Don’t be afraid to add and/or substitute zucchini to your favorite recipes. It makes a delicious addition to soups, salads, sauces, and egg dishes. It’s an especially tasty addition to Italian dishes.
2. For most recipes, there is no need to peel zucchini. The peel adds nutrition and color.
3. Yellow straight neck squash is often referred to as yellow zucchini.
4. Zucchini can be eaten raw or cooked, peeled or unpeeled. It is very versatile in that it can be fried, boiled, baked, steamed and grilled. It can also be sliced, diced, cut in strips, stuffed and shredded.
5. Zucchini is more than 95 percent water and very low in calories; 1 cup sliced zucchini equals 25 calories.
6. Shredded zucchini can be added to soups and sauces without draining. However, when added to breads and cakes it must be drained and the liquid squeezed from the pulp.
7. When grating zucchini for breads choose from the following methods:
Shred zucchini onto foil, sprinkle with salt and then let set 15 to 30 minutes to release juices. Squeeze juice out with hands. If using this method, reduce the amount of salt listed in the recipe by half.
Shred zucchini; place in strainer while preparing next step in recipe. When ready to use, squeeze liquid out with hands.
Place shredded zucchini in dish towel; squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Take ends of towel and twist to remove remaining liquid.
8. Zucchini is bland in taste and often takes on the flavor of other ingredients. It is commonly seasoned with oregano and garlic, basil and tarragon, or dill weed.
9. 1 pound = 3 cups sliced; 4 small or 2 to 3 medium = 1 pound; 1 medium shredded = 1-1/2 cups; 1 large = 2 pounds
10. Small to medium zucchini tend to have the best flavor. Use large overgrown zucchini, with seeds removed, for soups, breads and boats for stuffing.
11. If zucchini is to be used in 1 to 2 days, store at room temperature. It can be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
12. It is impossible to stay on top of can and package sizes. Select the one closest to the size stated in the recipe and don’t fret.
Appetizers
Toasty Zucchini Bruschetta
Toast bread and while still warm, rub with cut side of garlic clove and brush with olive oil.
Preheat grill or broiler. Slice zucchini lengthwise 1/4-inch thick. Grill zucchini slices on both sides until charred. Cut each slice to fit toast. Spread each toast with 1 to 2 teaspoons pesto, top with grilled zucchini slice and 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Serve cold or heat under broiler. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Dipped Zucchini
In a large pie plate, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, Italian seasoning and salt. In another pie plate, beat eggs.
In a large, deep frying pan, heat oil. Dip zucchini pieces in egg then in breadcrumb mixture. Using tongs, carefully place in hot oil, turning until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while hot. Makes 32 pieces.
Zucchini Sushi
With a sharp vegetable peeler, slice zucchini lengthwise into wide, flat ribbons. You will need 32 ribbons; set aside. Drain and pat dry crabmeat to remove as much liquid as possible. In a small bowl, combine crabmeat, mayonnaise, wasabi paste and salt. Cut avocado into thin strips. For
