Stevens (CCCAMPER%MIZZOU1.BITNET@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU) I don't have amounts for this recipe because I just make it. Zucchini and Carrots Melted butter or margarine Finely crushed cracker crumbs (Ritz, saltines, Townhouse, etc) carrots, cleaned and sliced into "coins" zucchini, sliced into "coins" Steam or boil carrots until almost tender. Add zucchini and cook until tender. Drain. Stir together melted butter and crumbs until the crumbs are well-coated by still "crumbly" (not so they pack into a gooey wad!). Mix with the well drained vegetables and serve. This sounds too simple, but it really has a nice flavor and kids even like it. Someone might suggest which herb or herbs would go well with these two flavors. Probably nutmeg would work, too, to spice it up a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Candy, Va (11:06:52 pm) : Stuffed Zucchini 6 small zucchini 2 T olive oil 1 t chopped garlot 1 T chopped shallots 6 mushrooms, diced 1 T tomato paste 1/4 c grated Gruyere cheese Split the zucchini in half lengthwise,scoop out the pulp, taking care notto break through the skin.Chop the pulp.

The measurements have to be according to the size of the space you are filling. I top this with Parmesan cheese, and spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce. The sauce can be omitted and if this is done then I use the cheese and seasoned breadcrumbs. This is a different way to use the zukes and there are probably a dozen different ways to fill them. My daughter who is a vegetarian does the same as above but substitutes tunafish for the ground beef, and that works out fine too. *********** Zucchini Stuffed Cut the large zucchini in half length wise. Scoop out the seeds, then par boil the zucchini for about 5 minutes. Remove from water and let drain for about 10 or 15 minutes on a paper towel. Mix up your favorite meatloaf mixture and stuff the zucchini. Bake until the meat loaf is almost done, then cover the meat mixture with tomato sauce and return to oven for a while longer, 5 minutes before the meatloaf is done cover the meat mixture and the zucchini with grated cheese, return to the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and turning brown. Remove from oven and serve with your favorite vegetables. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betsy at TKL (11:19:41 pm) : From: Lynn Schneiderman lynns@BLUEJAY.CREIGHTON.EDU To: Multiple recipients of list EAT-L EAT-L@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU Zucchini Parmesan 4 small zucchinis(fingerlings) or 1 large one(or eggplant) 2 cans stewed tomatoes 1/2 onion chopped 1 can of water 2 cloves of garlic - pressed parmesian cheese In an electric frying pan, brown the onions and garlic in a small amount of oil. Slice the zucchini or eggplant. Put this in next and then add the stewed tomatoes and water. Let simmer covered for about 10 minutes. Stir, then add a generous covering of parmesian cheese.
