This is my "mystery" plant. Every year, I save seeds from last year's fruit. I had my tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers all marked as such, but I had one lot of seeds I did not know what they were. I planted them anyway and they turned out to be zucchini. I do not even remember saving them. Mix all together except for butter or margarine. Melt butter or margarine in large skillet. Drop spoonfuls of mix into hot skillet. Fry 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Serve hot.

Melt butter in a 2 quart dish. Stir in squash, onion, basil, salt and pepper. Cover with a paper towel and cook on high for about 5 minutes or until the tenderness you like, stirring every two minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cover with paper towel and cook about 1 more minute.
Sprinkle with the cheese and let stand or put in microwave for a few seconds to melt cheese. This can also be done on stove top in frying pan, either way it's good.
A great way to use up your garden vegetables and really yummy!

In a bowl combine flour, cheese, oregano, pepper and salt. Beat eggs. Add zucchini, onion and mayonnaise. Add flour mixture and mix well. In a large skillet, melt butter and fry pancakes until golden on both sides. Serve with sour cream, ketchup, tomatoes or mayonnaise. This is a main supper sandwich for us during the summer months.

I am looking for lots of tasty recipes using zucchini. I was given one that we like from my neighbour. It is as follows:
Saute onions and when partially cooked add sliced zucchini, and a little water and finish cooking. Then Add Cheez Whiz, or cheese sauce, salt and pepper. Heat through. I thought it was a side dish, but we eat it as a soup and really do like this. (I used 2 large onions, and 2 small zucchini, about 1/2 cup of water and 3/4 cup of Cheez Whiz.)

Zucchini Pancakes
(much like a potato pancake and used as a side dish)
Zucchini Spaghetti Sauce
Saute a cut up onion in small amount of oil, add chucks of zucchini (can be peeled and seeded or not), sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper, cover and cook about 15 minutes-stirring occasionally. Add 1 jar/can your favorite spaghetti sauce (or use puree and favorite spices), cover and simmer until fork-tender. (08/03/2004)

Saute some shallot and garlic in a skillet with just a little bit of olive oil. Add a zuchinni, cut into bite size chunks, and skinless chicken breast, also cut into small pieces. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through. The Zuchinni should still be a bit firm - not mushy. If the zuchinni gets overcooked, add the chicken to start it, then add the zuchinni.
Cook angel hair pasta, and toss with the zuchinni and chicken. Top with some feta cheese and fresh basil (If you don't like feta, coarse grated romano is also very good).
This is a nice lite summer meal,and since angel hair pasta cooks in 4 minutes, it keeps the kitchen from getting too hot.
Enjoy (08/03/2004)

Also love them raw. This time of year I always have veggies trays fresh from the garden with yellow squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers. Peel zucchini, slice in long thin strips, and serve on a veggie tray or all by themselves with ranch dip. (06/03/2005)
