The harvest of garden tomatoes! They're beginning to rival those zucchini! Pictured are cherry tomatoes, chocolate cherry tomatoes, mini Roma's, standard Roma's, early girls, and green zebra-striped.
A close up of the green zebra striped and the chocolate cherries. I'm in tomato heaven!
The chocolate zucchini cake (3 zucchini) and 2 loaves of zucchini harvest bread (2 zucchini).
For dinner we made Parmesan oven 'fried' zucchini rounds (6 more garden zucchini), which we served up with a big bowl of cherry tomatoes (garden) and a dish of tortellini in a sage (garden) cream sauce. Desert was cherry plums from the farmer's market. This was delicious and super easy!
Julie Ann's Multicultural Oven 'fried" Zucchini Rounds
6 medium zucchini (or yellow summer squash or combo), washed and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 cup of milk
1.5 cups of flour
and now pick a cuisine, only one though.
(In parenthesis is the suggested serving sauce. Don't add this to the recipe. Serve it with the cooked rounds at the table, if desired)
Italian:
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
dash of cayenne pepper
(warm marinara sauce)
Indian:
1 Tbsp of curry powder
(plain yogurt and chutney)
Mexican:
1 Tbsp of mild chili powder
or
1/2 tsp of chipotle chili powder
(avocado and salsa)
Chinese:
1 tsp of Chinese 5-spice
(soy sauce or any favorite Asian sauce. The future farmers like sweet and sour)
How to:
1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2) Cover multiple cookie sheets (large flat pans) with foil. Spray with nonstick spray
3) Mix flour with the cuisine seasoning of your choice in a large bowl.
4) Pour milk in deep, small bowl.
5) Dip zucchini (or squash) rounds into milk, a few at a time.
6) Then immediately dunk into flour mix, coating both sides.
7) Place in a single layer on cookie sheets.
8) Cook for 10 minutes, then flip and cook other side an additional 10 minutes.
9) Serve with cuisine complementary sauce if desired.
Warning: This makes a heaping bunch of rounds. Cut recipe down to your size or be prepared to either feed a crowd, eat zucchini for a week, or feeze a bunch for noshing on later. Enjoy!
Zucchini 100:
73 + 7 (harvested yesterday) = 80 - 11 used in cooking today and - 2 given to our neighbor = 67 to go!
