It's zucchini season, share your recipes

[RumpleMom]

I have been fortunate to receive some zucchini from a friend's garden.

Please share your recipes for zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, and anything else that the garden is providing in abundance. I would especially like a low fat recipe for zucchini bread that still tastes good.

Here's what I've been making:

Italian Zucchini

2 cups thinly sliced zucchini
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 medium green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1 medium tomato, peeled if desired, cut into 1/2 inch chunks

Combine all ingredients, except tomatoes in 2 quart casserole.
Cover.
Microwave at High 4 to 5 minutes, or until zucchini is tender-crisp. Stir in tomatoes. Recover; microwave at High 1 minute to 2 1/2 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender. Serves 4.

I like to cut zuccini and squash lengthwise and brush both sides with EVOO and put them in the George Foreman Grill or on the outside grill if weather permits. I cook them just a few minutes, so they are still kind of crisp. I also add grill seasoning for flavor. YUMMO! :thumbsup2
