A good use for zucchini
 

I found this amazing recipe for the zucchini that is now just coming in my garden. I hope you enjoy as much as we did and, since I didn't have any cilantro I just left it out.

Skillet Zucchini and Corn

2 tbl. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 zucchinis, diced
1/2 cut chopped onion
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 tbl. lime juice
1 tbl. chopped fresh cilantro

1. In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat oil. Add garlic, zucchini, and onion to the skillet and cook for 6-7 min. or until soft, stirring occasionally

2. Add corn, basil thyme, and pepper. Cook for 5 min. stirring occasionally, or until heated through. Stir in lime juice and cilantro

3. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve
2 tbl. grated Parmesan cheese

I might have to try this tonight. We have tons of zucchini and corn.

Will have to try it for supper tonight. Have plenty of zucchini and a couple of ears of left over corn.

Thanks for the great-looking recipe!

Yum, sounds great!

Two zucchini? Some of ours are the size of size of baseball bats! :-)

I usually grate it up and freeze it for later use in zucchini bread.

That's my vote too....but yrs ago I used to "jar" zucchini relish.....yummy. Has anyone made stuffed zukes....just hollow out a bit, fill with seasoned grd beef pour red sauce over, bake........good too

Tale the large zucchinis and cur them lengthwise in half. Scoop our the seesy part and then cur them in slices crosswise. Use a good applepie recipe and make pies. They are really good!

A friend gave me this recipe a few weeks ago. It is delicious!

has anyone tried chocolate zucchini cake? it is delicious!

I've made the zucchini brownies. So moist and they are just like other brownies in taste.

My kids' favorite recipe: cut zucchini in 1/2 lengthwise,scoop out seeds,parboil. Fill the halves with pizza sauce,pepperoni,cheese. Bake til bubbly. Then...discard the zucchini and eat the rest if you are a kid!

sounds delish! I had a dog that loved zucchini. he smelled it cooking and he wait for his dish of it. strange dog, but he was a great family dog too.

everything Geri b says gets my vote and zucchini bread is delicious.

Zucchini soup is another good way to use this veg - either warm or chilled is good.

francie, that's a funny one. Sounds about right too. :)

one of my all time favorite recipes and love it especially because it's made a day ahead of enjoying it's delicious flavors....try it once and I'll bet it won't be your last!!!!!
