[Sca-cooks] OOP-OT Squash

[S CLEMENGER]

Zuke bread, as someone else has mentioned.
It's good grated and stir-fried with garlic and olive oil.
It's good in smallish chunks, sauteed with fresh tomato chunks, 
chunks/strips of bell pepper, and pieces of green onion (watch for a 
surprising amount of juice/water, though); after sauteing, top with freshly 
grated parmesan and salt/pepper to taste (my mom used to call that one 
"Zucchini Melange," and it's definitely best if all the veggies come fresh 
from the garden)
I used to have a recipe (long since lost) that used zuke, shredded, to make 
a kind of pickle, like sweet pickle relish
You can eat the flowers, I'm told....
The small ones, cut small, would probably be good in a variety of egg dishes 
like frittatas
I've got a cookbook ("Enchanted Broccoli Forest") which has a recipe for a 
Savory Cheesecake that contains grated zucchini in addition to other veggies
You can stuff the larger ones and bake them
The giant ones are good for blowing up with leftover firecrackers, or for 
one's father to place on a fence post and use for target practice....
