One Local Summer 2012 – Week 12

So it’s not as spectacular as last week’s entry, and it’s still a zucchini pizza, but a little different this time – no polenta.  The ends of those monster zucchini had no seeds, so when I grilled up the rings from last week, I did these too and saved them for ordinary old zucchini pizza.  They were re-grilled to heat them up and melt the cheese a little, but it was an easy quickie dinner and a good way to use up all that zucchini.  The little green things in the front are Mexican Sour Gherkins.  They’re about the size of a fingertip when ripe, and have been my garden snack when I go out to check on things because it’s so easy to grab a handful and munch in the evening.  Simple dinner here, but still delicious.

One Local Summer 2012 – Week 10

Yup. Ten weeks already! Our garden is finally giving us a whole bunch of zucchini, so I made the best of a pretty insane situation. The zucchini in question is the 8 ball zucchini which grows in a round, softball shape/size instead of the typical elongated shape of a normal zucchini. They’re much more seedy than regular zucchini, but once hollowed out, they’re perfect to stuff with all sorts of good things, which is what I did here.  I know I did this in prior years, but it’s just so easy (and delicious).  The zucchini is stuffed with chorizo, pepper, tomato, onion, garlic scapes, and topped off with a few slices of goat mozzarella.  I had leftover potatoes from last week, so I put those in tin foil on the grill and used them on the side.  Not bad!  And, there were two whole zucchini, so I’ve got a TON of leftovers.  Also, I have a TON more zucchini, if you’ve got any recipes to recommend!
