Zucchinis are a great example of a plant that can keep feeding you even in winter. You can eat the orange-colored blossoms and the fruit. Zucchini also keeps well shredded in the freezer.
Fried zucchini blossoms
Flour
Salt
Beer
Blossoms
Make a simple batter with flour, salt, and a 12oz beer. Dredge the blossoms in the batter and fry them in some oil.
Grilled zucchini
Slice the long way. Place the slices on the grill and brush them with Italian dressing on each side. They make an excellent side dish at any barbecue.
Freeze the rest
The rest of your zucchini you can throw in a food processor to grate and then store two cups worth in freezer bags and pop them in the freezer to use all year long. The grated zucchini is a great way to hide some extra veggies in your tomato sauce. You can also use it in a quiche, muffins or bread. 083.txt
