Every single year I plant zucchini. If I plant nothing at all, I plant zucchini. I'm a novice gardener but have never failed at growing zucchini, no matter where I've lived. This year I'm growing the traditional green type and have 3 plants taking over the garden bed. In this warm weather they have literally been growing over night and we get to the point where I struggle to find ideas of what to do with all my zucchini!
One tried and tested recipe is my zucchini slice. It's very easy! All you need is:
1 chopped onion
375g of grated zucchini
1 or 2 grated carrots
1 cup of self raising flour
1/4 cup of olive oil
5 eggs
4 rashes of bacon
2 cups of grated tasty cheese
All you need to do is:
Preheat your oven to 170 degrees.
Fry off your onion and diced bacon.
Whisk your eggs and flour together in a bowl.
Add all your other ingredients. Mix well.
Season with salt and pepper and place in a greased lamington sized tin.
Bake for 30-45 mins. Just keep an eye on it.
One huge tip that I suggest is once you grate your zucchini pop it into a clean tea towel and wring out all the excess water.
Until I figure out what to do with all my zucchinis, I've begun freezing batches of grated zucchini. You simply grate your zucchini, wring out the excess water and pop into zip lock bags so whenever you want to make something that requires grated zucchini, you'll have it at your finger tips!
