The other day I posted a couple of links to baked zucchini recipes (Bread and Blueberry Lemon Cake (my recommendation on the cake is to find a slightly less/more lemony sweet buttercream recipe, and also to add some lemon into the batter if you like lemon)). You should make those if you have lots of zucchini, and I understand the bread freezes fairly well too.
Today I wanted to share another favorite, and I thought I'd turn it into content here, given our recent conversations about generating more and maybe some new Citizens. Anyway, I made it last night, and it turned out perfect. It's quick, easy, and satisfying. Can't beat that.
Ingredients
2 medium zucchini, chopped into 1/2" - 1" pieces
1 medium onion, chopped in 1" pieces
Pepperoni slices
Mozzarella or similar cheese
Your favorite marinara sauce
Basil leaves
Good hot dog/brat buns
Salt, Pepper, Oregano
2 tablespoons butter (or less)
Directions
1. Heat zucchini and onion in butter until cooked through, seasoning with salt, pepper, and oregano.
2. Layer a row of pepperoni and another of basil into the buns.
3. Spoon in the cooked zucchini and top with marina and cheese.
4. Broil until cheese is melted/browning.
It's that easy. So much yum.
I was very confused as to how the original header image connected to the recipe. I swapped it out to reduce (cooking term! yeah!?) confusion.
That also sounds quite tasty.
Thanks. I figured I shouldn't let lack of pictures keep me from posting, like it has in the past.
I think a picture from one of CH's banh mi posts was automatically added as the header, so I couldn't figure out why there was cilantro in the picture. I'll have to edit the default tNHaA header images.
That new one works well! Thanks.
EAR made noodles from zucchini last night using some spiral-cutter, and a quick "parboil" (one minute dunk in a pot of boiling water). It worked well.
She put some Swedish meatballs on top.
