Oh my god, I LOVE zucchini. My favorite zucchini recipes are Zucchini and Black Bean Chilaquiles and Zucchini Bread.





Zucchini and Black Bean Chilaquiles --





12 6-inch corn tortillas


1 1/2 tbsp. virgin olive oil


1 c. chopped onions


1 med. green bell pepper, diced


1 (28 oz.) can crushed or pureed tomatoes


2 1/2 c. cooked black beans (if canned, drain)


1 med. zucchini, diced


1 4-oz can of chopped mild green chiles


2 tsp. chili powder


1 tsp. dried oregano


1/2 tsp. ground cumin


1/2 lb. grated Cheddar cheese or non-dairy Cheddar style cheese





Preheat oven to 400 degrees.





Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Saute onions until translucent. Add green pepper and continue until softened and onions are golden. Stir in tomatoes, beans, zucchinis and seasonings, and simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes.





Lightly oil a 9 x 13 inch shallow casserole and layer as follows: half the tortillas, half the tomato/black bean mixture and half the cheese. Repeat. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Then cut into squares and serve. Serves 6-8.

Stir in the zucchini, raisins and nuts and mix together gently until just mixed. Add 1/4 c. water if the dough seems too dry.

Zucchini Fritters





Ingredients


1 lb of zucchini (about 2 medium sized), coarsely grated


Kosher salt


Ground black pepper


1 large egg


2 scallions, finely chopped


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1/2 cup grape seed oil or olive oil


Sour cream or plain yoghurt





Method


1 Salt the zucchini with about 1 teaspoon of salt. Try to remove the excess moisture from the zucchini by either squeezing the liquid out with a potato ricer, or by squeezing with paper towels. (The original recipe calls for putting the zucchini in a colander set in the sink to let it drain for 10 minutes after salting it. I think it works much better to use a potato ricer.)





2 Whisk egg in a large bowl; add the zucchini, flour, scallions, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Mix to combine well.





3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook fritters in two batches. Drop six mounds of batter (2 Tbsp each) into the skillet. Flatten slightly. Cook, turning once, until browned, 4-6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining batter.





Serve immediately, with sour cream or plain yoghurt on the side.
Zucchini and Black Bean Chilaquiles are AWESOME. I've only made this once,but I loved it. I'm vegan so I left out the cheese, but it was still amazing. I recommend it as well.





My favorite way to have zucchini is to just stir fry it.





2-3 medium zucchinis and a clove or two of garlic is all you need. Spray a pan with a non-stick spray or use a tsp or so of olive oil, sautee the garlic and add the zucchini cut into cm thick pieces. Stir fry until zucchini is the texture you want. Less for crunchy, more for soft. Serve as a side to pretty much any meal. Yum!
