Bah, humbug! Zucchini sucks. I don't care for the flavor or the texture, fried, grilled, stewed, sauteed, baked, in soups or stews or casseroles or by itself. I see no reason to eat it when there are so many better choices.

We all kind of go by zucchini and ignore it..I like it but there are so many veggies that are so much more beautiful to look and, that have a unique flavor that calls to us..So after making this I have a new respect for the good ol zucchini.
Slice the long way 6-8 zucchini, in a shallow bowl or pan add 1/3 c. evoo juice of one lemon and some of it's zest.Add 2 cloves crushed garlic about 1 teal ground cumin or more if you choose. add some kosher salt and some fresh ground black pepper, I use coarse grind I love that crunch and burst of heat from the larger grind.Put zucchini in the marinade coat well and let it marinate at least 2 hours. Prepare a med fire or use an indoor grilput on the zucchini and leave til you can see a light grill mark thenturn do not let it get mooshie you want it just a little crisp..When done to your liking remove to platter give a light squeeze of lemon and more salt and pepper and enjoy.

This is one of my fave ways of using zucchini. Had it last night as an accompaniment to some "Teriyaki Salmon"
BREEZY SESAME ZUCCHINI CARROT RAMEN NOODLES
1 small/medium zucchini
1 medium carrot
1 package Ramen noodle soup mix
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Aprox. 1 teaspoon (about 1”) peeled & grated fresh ginger
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
Soy sauce to taste
Vegetable oil
Hot sesame oil (or regular, if desired)
Wash & trim zucchini; trim & peel carrot. Grate, shred, or julienne slice both (julienned produces the best result).
Discard soup/seasoning packet from Ramen noodles (or save for another use). Cook noodles according to package directions & drain.
In a medium/large skillet, heat a thin coating of vegetable oil & sauté squash & carrot until just barely tender. Add ginger & garlic & stir a few times. Add drained noodles & combine gently. Add crushed red pepper flakes & soy sauce to taste & gently combine again. Serve with a drizzle of hot (or regular) sesame oil on top.
Thank you for sharing you recipe..Who know when I posted this all the wonderful recipes I'd get to try...Thanks again PattyI think this is tasty. I prefer it with home made fresh Salsa.

Mom did somethingalmost the same, no mint but heated olive oil,garlic ,chopped onion, when onion was soft add beaten eggs with fresh chopped parsley and some parmesan cheese..mix well put skillet in the oven after topping with Monterey jack cheese..We loved it..Think it might have been the cheese? I like the way your mom's recipe sounds..I love mint..emmmmy mom would thinnly slice zucchini into rounds, heat olive oil in pan and add 1 small crushed garlic clove (just for flavor not to over power), heat till garlic is fragrant, fish out garlic and discard. add zucchini and cook till tender and brown around the edges. pour all into a container add extra olive oil to cover. rip fresh mint leaves and add to container. allow to sit in frdge till chilled. she would eat it by serving in bowl and used crusty bread to dip in the oil.
i didn't like it but she grew up on it and loved it, especially with her home grown zucchini.
