yes, i know it's been a month since we last posted, but you know what it's like. anyhoo, my friend annaluisa and her husband, jerry, have a garden and they're growing, among other things, some great zucchini. annaluisa was kind enough to share some of their crop with me. check this thing out, it's ginormous
i love the flavor of grilled zucchini, so, i dusted off the chicken crematorium, i mean, the barbeque, and grilled me up some zucchini, with a side of london broil steak. i made some caramelized onions to go on top of the zucchini and it really brought out the sweetness of the zucchini. one thing i learned about caramelized onions: i do not have the kind of patience it takes to make them. this is probably no surprise to anyone that knows me. ahem. anyway, here's the final product -
thanks, annaluisa and jerry for sharing the bounty of your harvest!

I've never grilled a large one so was the flavor as good as the little ones? I do have a zucchini bread recipe if you'd like. I just don't bake much during the summer.
yes, this one was sweet and a little nutty. very flavorful.
I remember when Uncle grew Z and I stuffed a rather large one with sausage parmesan cheese etc..........quite nutty in flavor.
I find when I caramelize onions I do a lot of them at once then I have them on hand in the fridge........signed one who also has zip patience
Amen to both of you.
A side of steak? Now that's the way we all should eat.
I bought some Z at the farmers market today and plan to do some like that though stuffing a large one sounds yummy. Doodles, you should post a recipe before I tackle that.
gosh I don't know if I have a recipe for stuffed Z........I remember steaming them, scooping out the inside, then made a stuffing, filled up the Z wrapped it in foil and baked them for about 25 minutes or so.
I like them grilled a lot brush them with oil with a spice mixed in.
Growing up I had only ever seen the gigantic zucchinis that grew in my grandfather's garden. As an adult I wondered why I could never find them like that at the grocery store!
