retard here, never thought much of zucchini. what's the go-to way to prepare them? i.e., oven/pan or what? preferably easy ways that don't take much time/money.

add heat, fat, salt, and marjoram

are they better in pan or oven?

Pickling, oddly enough. They have a better texture than cucumbers by far, and you can cut them thinner without sacrificing structural integrity.

put them in your ass, retard

Slice, bread, deep fry. They add nothing to anything and can only be salvaged in the usual state fair manner. They're tranny cukes.

I love them either roasted or in stir fry.

first time hearing about that. weird

I like them grilled with a little oil and some salt and pepper. You can shred them and make fritters, roast in the oven, add to Primavera, etc.

Place them in a smoker with foie gras

Get some panko, parm and spices mix em up. Cover a baking sheet with a layer of the mixture and then put coin slices of the zucc on top. Flip em half way. Cronchy lil guys.

substitute the marjoram with oregano if that's what you have.
>>12576300
Try also with garlic, tomato, mushrooms.
You can also cut them into vegetable noodles.
It's also good in bread, basically use a,banana bread recipe but sub the banana for the zucchini.

Oh man, I forgot about fritters. Very good, used to get this at a cafe with tzatziki. They used pumpkin in the fritter also.

>> No.12576644

Roasted is good, I also use one of those tools to turn them into noodles

Pumpkin huh. Never had them with pumpkin. I also like onion fritters. Webm related.

In the Upper Midwest, you "prepare" them by giving them to neighbors who don't really want them but are too polite to refuse them. I don't think I've ever actually seen someone eat zucchini outside of zucchini bread.

Yeah, y'know this place was in a pumpkin area. I used to get them with an order of ciabatta, hommus, and some sun-dried tomato tapenade. The fritters came with a salad. It was something good for lunch in the summer.

In italy is a no brainer for a quick and tasty pasta.
Make a chunky soffritto with a good shredded sausage, and diced Zucchini.
Add a short pasta and there you go. Simple and delicious.

there is a lot of water in zucchini
most zucchini dishes kinda suck imo
i like to mandolin them verry thin, and toss them heavily with salt in a collander to draw out the water
leave 30 mins
then squeeze out the water with my hands

then use them on pizza or eat them raw with lemon juice

Or, do them less thin, still leave salted, but dry with paper towels, toss heavily in olive oil, and grill. Thats the best. But tedious.

Or, grate, salt, leave, wring, then mix with egg and feta and a little flour and garlic and fry into patties.

I like to bread and fry them. It's good as fuck.
