Zucchini Cobbler

THIS IS my surprise dessert! No one ever guesses that the "secret ingredient" is zucchini. Everyone says it tastes like apples. This cobbler is a great dessert to make for a potluck supper or to serve a crowd. It's been requested time and again in my house, and I'm always happy to make it. -Joanne Fazio, Carbondale, Pennsylvania

Ingredients:

8 cups chopped seeded peeled zucchini (about 3 pounds)

2/3 cup lemon juice

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

CRUST:

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups sugar

1-1/2 cups cold butter, cubed

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, cook and stir zucchini and lemon juice for 15-20 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Add the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; simmer 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat; set aside.

For crust, combine the flour and sugar in a bowl; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir 1/2 cup into zucchini mixture. Press half of remaining crust mixture into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Spread zucchini over top; crumble remaining crust mixture over zucchini. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Yield: 16-20 servings.

Skillet Pork Chops with Zucchini

My husband and I live on a small farm with our two young sons. We're always blessed with plenty of zucchini from our garden in summer, so I try lots of different zucchini recipes. This is one of my family's favorites.

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

3 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon dill weed

1/2 teaspoon pepper

6 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inches thick and 4 ounces each)

1 tablespoon canola oil

2 medium onions, sliced

1/3 cup warm water

3 medium zucchini (about 1 pound), sliced

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup cheese, salt, dill weed and pepper. Pour half into a large resealable plastic bag; Add pork, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat; shake off excess flour. Set aside remaining flour mixture.

In a large skillet, brown pork chops on both sides over medium-high heat. Top with onion slices; add water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Place zucchini over the onion. Combine remaining cheese with reserved flour mixture; sprinkle over zucchini. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 6 servings.

***These are realy good recipes that you can use zucchini in ! ` *****

Depending on the size, you can slice, seed (if large) and blanch then put into freezer bags for future use. or you can lightly saute with salt, pepper, onions and garlic in a small amount of oil then cool and freeze, these are great heated in the microwave on low power, or stirred into spaghetti sauce or in casseroles. They make cooking bags for the microwave now that are great for veggies. you don't need to add any water so all the nutrients are still in the veggies, when they are done cooking season as you want. Don't forget to add some in your stir-fry too.My husbands favorite is what we call stuff in a pan. in a large fry pan heat a small amount of oil add thin sliced potato and onion, cook for a few minutes then stir in sliced zucchini and polish sausage that has been sliced into bite size pieces. cook until the potato's are done, season with salt and pepper.

I have a couple others...like casseroles but for now just process the zucchini and freeze it! You can put it in the blender and have it ready for bread and cakes...you can shred it and have it ready for casseroles. Just freeze in 1 and 2 cup containers and you'll be ready for about any recipe that calls for zucchini.

You can eat zucchini raw in salads, sliced in pasta sauce.

You can slice long thin slices in a mandolin & make a lasagna.

You can bake slices with tomatoes & cheese in a casserole.

My all time fave is Pillsbury's Zucchini Crescent Pie. So good :D
