Zucchini (Italian for small squash) is slender and cylindrical, typically 8 to 16 cm long and 3 to 6 cm around, with edible deep green skin sometimes streaked with yellow-green. The firm flesh is white tinged with green, with small edible seeds. Pale green, yellow, round and ”baby” varieties are also available. Tender and mild-tasting when cooked, this popular vegetable is extremely versatile.
Keep refrigerated up to 5-7 days.
Prep and cook:
Zucchini is used unpeeled. Cut off the neck and base, then cut or grate as needed. To use raw, add slices to raw getable platters with dip, grate to use in breads, fritters and pancakes, or add tiny zucchini to salads.
To cook: bake, stuffed or unstuffed, roast, sautéed, grilled, stir-fry, boil, steam, deep fry or add to soups, stews, casseroles, and lasagna. Add puréed cooked zucchini to pasta sauces. Zucchini can also be picked.
Goes with herbs, spices and flavours such as: Basil, chilli, garlic, dill, lemon, olive oil, oregano, parsley, pepper, wine vinegar.
