So far, in my house-holding life, I have not had to deal with mountains of zucchini. Last year, I had one plant that produced a zucchini or two every couple days and it was a beautiful relationship. This year, I had NO zucchini come up! I was pretty bummed about missing out on that delicious part of summer until I connected with my two beautiful sister-in-laws who are both battling zucchini wars of their own. I am more than happy to take any excess zucchini off their hands, but then I end up with a mountain at my house. A happy problem to have.
Tonight I tried something new. Zucchini Medallions. Great idea! You basically chop your zucchini into two inch rounds and scoop out a cup in one side. You then fill as desired - tonight we did chopped salami, brown rice, a bit of tomato sauce, a bit of onion, and feta - and grill! I grilled them pretty hot for 15 - 20 minutes, the filling heated up, the medallions softened, and they were a big hit. I ended up filling three zucchini this way, and we only had three medallions left.
Zucchini Medallions
chop and mix:
Salami
Onion
Brown Rice
Feta
bit of tomato sauce to make it stick together
Scoop zucchini out to form a cup. Fill cup, pressing filling down and heaping up. Grill at high heat for 20 minutes.
