RECIPES 1. Zucchini Slice Ingredients 400g zucchini grated 1 large onion finely chopped 1 cup cheddar cheese grated 1 cup self raising flour 1/2 cup olive oil 5 eggs 3 rashes of bacon or pancetta diced (optional) Salt and pepper to taste Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F) fan forced. Squeeze out as much water as you can from the grated zucchini over the sink. Combine zucchini, onion, cheese, flour, oil, bacon/pancetta and eggs. Thoroughly mix and then add to prepared baking tins. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until well browned on top. I doubled this recipe in the video and it freezes really well. 2. Zucchini Chocolate Loaf https://www.recipetineats.com/chocolate-zucchini-bread/ This is a recipe from the wonderful Nagi @recipetineats (www.recipetineats.com) 3. Zucchini Gratin Ingredients 1kg of yellow zucchini thinly sliced about 3mm thick (1/8”) 350mL cream 300g cheddar grated 200g parmesan finely grated 200g Brie or Camembert chopped, rind removed 50g butter Layer the sliced zucchini in a colander sprinkling a light coating of salt over each layer. Once done press down slightly on the slices and leave somewhere to drain off excess moisture for a few hours. Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F) fan forced. Pat dry zucchini slice with paper towel and place in a layer on a baking dish overlapping each slice half way across the previous slice. In between each layer add a good handful of cheddar and parmesan cheese. Bring cream to a simmer in a small saucepan and reduce the heat. Add Brie or Camembert, butter and lots of ground black pepper and stir thoroughly. Pour mixture over layered zucchini and top with more parmesan and cheddar cheese. Bake for 30 minutes and allow 10 minutes for cooling before serving. 4. Courgette Soup Ingredients 1Kg chopped zucchini/courgette 2 onions finely diced 800mL bone broth 200mL Cream Place all zucchini, onion and bone broth in pressure cooker, bring to pressure and cook for 5 minutes. Allow pressure to release before opening. Alternatively you can simmer on medium heat in a normal sauce pan for 20 to 30 minutes. With a stick blender blend the soup to a puree, add your cream and salt and pepper to taste. 5. Stuffed Zucchini Boats Ingredients 2 large zucchinis cut in half with flesh scooped out Olive oil 2 finely chopped onions 1 tablespoon tallow/lard/ghee/butter 350g lamb mince 1 and 1/2 cups cooked medium grain rice 2 teaspoons chilli flakes 2 teaspoons ground cumin 100mL bone broth 150g finely chopped feta 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche or sour cream Handful of fresh parsley and mint finely chopped Parmesan to top Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F) fan forced. Place zucchini boats on a roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Bake for 30 minutes. Fry onions and fat in a large skillet over medium heat until translucent and slightly browned. Add mince and fry until browned. Add chilli flakes, cumin, broth and rice. Stir together on medium heat until the broth has dissolved into rice and then add sour cream and feta cheese. Stir for a few minutes and then bring off the heat. Once cooled slightly add the finely chopped herbs and season to taste. Pull the zucchinis out of the oven and mound them up with filling and top with grated parmesan. Bake for a further 20 minutes before switching to the grill/ broiler setting in your oven for 5 to 10 minutes until the top of the boats are crispy.
