Zucchini Parmesan. Find a recipe for eggplant parm and use the zuch's instead.

A favorite at our house is Zucchini Vichyssoise, an old recipe from Sunset. Uses extra squash bounty but good enough to buy zucchini especially.
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 or 3 cloves minced garlic,
2 lbs. zucchini, sliced 1/4" thick (about 8 lg. or 4 extra lg.)
3 cups chicken broth
2 Tbsp. fresh basil or 1 Tbsp. dry
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. sage or poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. curry powder, optional
1 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup (2 oz.) grated Cheddar cheese
In a 3 or 4 qt. saucepan, saute the onion and garlic in oil. Add zucchini, broth and seasonings. Bring to boil, then simmer until tender, about 10 min. Puree the soup. Add milk and cheese. To serve, warm, stir over medium heat until just heated through. To serve cold, cool, cover and chill 2 hours or up to day. Serving suggestion: garnish with chopped fresh tomato. Makes 6 entree servings or 10 to 12 first course. Over the years I have often made this with alternate seasonings, adding thyme and oregano, eliminating nutmeg, sage and curry and substituting Parmesan for Cheddar.

I would like the fritters please!

We had the Zucchini with Thyme for dinner last night, except I used rosemary instead of thyme. It was very yummy. My six year old even said it was good, but he still only ate one bite! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas!

Beautiful photo! This is a wonderfully helpful post. I feel like the bounty of zucchini is Summer's version of fruitcake; you drop a bunch on your neighbor's doorstep and hightail it outta there before they have time to refuse. Thanks for giving us all hope!

I have zucchini in my summer garden. Anytime I make fried green tomatoes I also fry some zucchini flowers too. Delicious!

I love to grill some up at our house. I slice the zucchini into thin slices, then I wrap it up in tin foil, drizzle some olive oil over the slices and sprinkle whatever spices sound good on them. Then I just throw the package on the grill untill tender.

All I can say is that I LOVE zucchini and squash. I could eat them everyday, almost any way, although I prefer not fried!

My family always sautees Zucchini, with yellow squash, sometimes white squash, and onion in some olive oil. There is something about all the flavors melding that makes it very good, yet very simple. Being able to have it is probably one of my favorite things about summer.

I create family cookbooks through my website, Secret Ingredients, and this delicious Zucchini Frittata recipe came from our online recipe database. It has become one of my personal favorite recipes lately. It is so good, easy, and pretty healthy!

Zucchini Frittata

Ingredients:
3 cups grated zucchini
1 small chopped onion
1 cup baking mix (Bisquick)
½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
4 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 Tbs. Italian seasoning
½ tsp margarine
½ tsp salt & pepper

Directions:
Mix it all up, pour into a buttered 10" pie plate, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until a knife in the center comes out clean. Easy as that!

Cold Zucchini soup

This cold soup is perfect for a summer dinner party. The hot sauce is completly offset by the sourcream and smoothness of the zucchini.

Hi Claire - if you love zucchini and squash then you are just the kind of neighbor that most gardeners adore. Hope you have a line on a good supply this summer. :-)

Hi Lindsey, sautéed summer squash is how we usually have it too, isn't it just the best?

Hi Kate - I would never think to make a frittata with zucchini, but why not? Great idea, thank you.

Hi Aaron - Ya know, that recipe actually sounds quite good. Needs a better name though, like zucchini gazpacho, or something like that.

Hi Elaine - well, we make winter squash pies, so why not with a summer squash? Thanks for the great idea.

I am looking for a basic Succatash recipe. Does anyone have an idea?
