zucchini recipes ????



Recommended Posts

Anyone have any zucchini recipes? I have 3 from the garden in the kitchen and from the looks of it there will be several more on the way. I love to marinate and grill them, I also love zucchini bread but don't want to turn the oven on

too much. Any suggestions?

zucchini and leek Soup

take 2 large washed leeks, slice them up finely, and grate the zucchinis (about 3 is right).

In a heavy based pan, heat a little olive oil, and fry up some chopped bacon, add the leeks and fry until soft, then add the zucchinis, stir it all around a little. Then add about half a cup to a cup of Water and pop on the lid and turn down the heat. You want to sweat the mix for about 15, 20 minutes, till it sort of all steams and softens up. Then you add stock (broth), just to cover the ingredients - I usually make it with boiling Water and Vegeta vegetable stock - its usually a bit under a litre (sorry, I think litres, sorry). Simmer for half an hour or so, blend it all smooth and stir in about a cup of cream (or evaporated milk if you want to keep fat/calories down). Season to taste too. This is a really really yummy Soup.< /p>

Zucchini Con Queso

1/2 a yellow onion diced

1 jalapeno seeded and chopped

3 zucchini or more depending on size

velveeta

sautee the onion diced zucchini and jalapeno in some olive oil. Mix some velveeta in once zucchini is tender. You kind of have to eyeball the amount of velveeta. It is so yummy. I've also made a meal out of it by adding cooked ground beef and rice.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
