She is now bringing me the recipe they were so soft and chewy and nothing like zucchini. I brought one out to Mr. Picky himself and he said those were the best ones he had ever had and he would eat those. REALLY? so now I can use up one of those oversized squashes and make him happy at the same time. tada!
When I've missed one of those oversized zucchini in the garden I found a recipe for mock apple pie on line - it used a lot of zucchini - less the seeds - it was delicious, I added more tapioca to the mix as it's a little jucier than what I like; flavors are incredible. I also use oversized zucchini in spaghetti sauce and make zucchini fritters - Brian's favorite is to have them peeled sliced 1/4" - 3/8" thick - dipped in egg then crushed crackers and fried - sort of like fried green tomatoes.
