Savoury Squash Recipes<\/h2>\n

Zucchini with Monterrey Jack Cheese<\/strong>\u00a0(contributed by Melba Rabinowitz)<\/p>\n

1 large onion, also a clove of fresh garlic if desired
\n2 lb. zucchini or other summer squash
\n6-8 ozs of montery jack, or other mild white cheese
\nSalt to Taste (Can also use garlic salt, if fresh garlic is unavailable)<\/p>\n

Cook, as little as possible. The reason this dish presents so
\nwell, is the zucchini is still a tiny bit crisp, but done; it is
\nnot mushy or very tender. This takes no longer than 15 or 20
\nminutes, maybe less, depending on how much you have in the pan
\nand the level of heat.<\/p>\n

I can’t claim credit for this recipe. In 1966, Mike and I bought
\nblue berry bushes from a local farmer, to transplant to our newly
\npurchased “homestead,” near Seattle. The farmer gave us some
\nzucchini and described the recipe which follows. I was raised in
\nTennessee. The only squash I had experienced was summer squash,
\nboiled, which I considered tasteless and yucky. Reluctant to try
\na vegetable by the same name, but hoping at the same time, to
\nimpress my New York born husband, I tried the recipe; it has been
\nstandard ever since, and is the first dish we are eager to have
\nwith the first zucchini of the season.<\/p>\n

The farmer did not tell us how to prepare and cook, or how much
\nzucchinni or cheese. He just said to use Monterrey Jack Cheese;
\ncook zucchini with onions and when we thought it was done to cut
\nthe cheese over the top, cover and turn off the heat.<\/p>\n

We have refined it a bit, but you will have to experiment to see
\nwhat proportion of onions, squash and cheese you like. The cheese
\nwill melt into the liquid from the squash, resulting in a cheese
\nlike sauce.<\/p>\n

It must be served immediately because the cheese will coagulate
\nagain, as it cools. I serve it in a ceramic or glass dish, so I
\ncan return it to the microwave for reheating. This can also be
\nprepared ahead of time for pot luck dinners, and it a great
\nfavourite for people, like me, who think they don’t like squash.<\/p>\n

COOKING TIME. A heavy iron skillet which will retain heat after
\nthe stove has been turned off works best. Cook as little as
\npossible, until the zucchini is translucent, but not over-cooked.
\nI usually start the onions on medium heat and reduce to just
\nbelow medium; Simmer is the right word, but keep an eye on it.
\nDon’t go off to watch a tennis match on t.v.<\/p>\n

Thinner slices are better than thicker slices. Cook with a lid
\non, to retain the liquid, and lift gently and turn from the
\nbottom, with a large spatula, at least once, about 2\/3 through
\nthe cooking time. Cut cheese over while squash is still
\nsimmering. Small chunks are o.k. No need to grate. How much
\ncheese depends on your personal taste. We like lots.<\/p>\n

Glazed Lemon Zucchini Bread \/ <\/strong>from Veggie Coop Member, Belinda Boland, August, 2014<\/p>\n

(Belinda brought a sample of this light loaf using zucchini, which I shared with farm staff. Is very light; almost like a pound cake. Several people asked for recipe. Here it is. Thanks, Belinda.)<\/p>\n

2 cups cake flour<\/p>\n

2 tsp baking powder<\/p>\n

l\/2 tsp salt<\/p>\n

2 eggs<\/p>\n

l l\/3 cup sugar<\/p>\n

l\/2 cup canola oil<\/p>\n

l\/2 cup buttermilk<\/p>\n

2 tbsp lemon juice<\/p>\n

1 cup grated zucchini<\/p>\n

zest of lemon<\/p>\n

Mix dry ingredients in bowl.<\/p>\n

In large bowl, beat eggs, aid oil and sugar. Blend well. Add juice, zest, buttermilk. Blend together. Fold in zucchini. Mix well. Add dry ingredients to wet; blend well. Pour batter into greased 9 x 5 loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 \u2013 45 minutes. While still warm, spoon glaze over the bread. Let glaze set before cutting.<\/p>\n

Glaze<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 cup icing sugar<\/p>\n

2 tbsp. Lemon juice<\/p>\n

1 tbsp milk<\/p>\n

Stir to Combine.<\/p>\n

Please note: If you don’t have buttermilk, try substituting plain yogurt diluted with a bit of milk to make amounts recipe specifies. Seems to work in most recipes. (Melba)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
