I'm sure you all are sick to death of zucchini but here is one more to try.Preheat oven to 350

Take 1-1/4lb of chopped zucchini,chop finely set aside, Beat 4 eggs, and add 1/4c. flour,and half of the 1/2c. of parmesan, also add 3 Tab. fresh chopped parsley,3 tab. chopped green onions,1 minced clove garlic,1-1/4 tea. salt,3/4 tea. dry oregano 1/4tea. pepper Stir in the zucchini Pour mixture into 1-1/2 qt. casserrole. Cut 18 cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them cut side up over the zucchini. /sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Bake uncovered for 30 min. or til hot and bubbly.
This is great with grilled chops or even ribs add a green salad and dig in:)

Here are my favorites

Zucchini Relish Recipe
Makes about five pint jars
Ingredients:
12 cups freshly cut zucchini
4 cups chopped onion
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
2 Poblano peppers, seeded and chopped
1/3 cup pickling salt
2 1/2 cups white vinegar
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon tumeric
2 teaspoons nutmeg
4 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions for combining ingredients:
1) In a glass or stainless steel bowl, combine zucchini, onions, red bell pepper, Poblano peppers and salt, cover and let stand in a cool place for 12 hours or overnight. Transfer to a colander placed over a sink, rinse with cool water and drain thoroughly. Use your hands to squeeze out any excess liquid.
2) In a large stainless steel saucepan combine drained zucchini mixture, vinegar, sugar, tumeric, nutmeg, prepared horseradish and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and boil gently for about 45 minutes until mixture thickens.
3) Prepare canner, jars, and lids.
4) Ladle hot relish into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rim, center lid on jar, screw band down until resistance is met and then increase to fingertip-tight.
5) Place jars in canner, ensuring that they are completely covered with water, bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes, remove canner lid, wait 5 minutes, then remove jars, cool and store.

I like to halve zucchini lengthwise, then brush or toss with olive oil and seasoning. Then I pop it on the grill before I put the "main course" (in our house meat). Put in a bowl. Often I do other veggies (eggplant, onions). When I cut them all up I add a garden tomato. Mom calls it "Claire's ratatouille".

My husband loves it when I julienne anything, and I'll make Asian-inspired salads (to include kimchee) using zucchini (courgettes for some).

To me the true secret to this vegetable is making sure you buy (or harvest if you're growing them) young enough. I went to my farmers market and the smallest one was almost a foot long! To me they're only good when very young and firm, not mushy and seedy.
