Zucchini, not as boring a vegetable as you may think
1.Sliced zucchini make a flavoursome addition to salads. Just trim the ends and cut into thin, even slices.
2.Make zucchini fritters using grated zucchini, grated carrot, some finely chopped onion, a beaten egg and some
breadcrumbs. Add salt and pepper, form into fritters and shallow-fry in olive oil.
3. Medium-sized zucchini (very large ones can be flavourless) are great for stuffing. Slice in half lengthways, scoop out
some of the flesh and stuff with a mixture of breadcrumbs, chopped ham and grated cheese. Bake in a moderate oven for
about 20 minutes.
4.For a quick side dish, thinly slice zucchini and lightly fry in olive oil with a little garlic and a sprinkling of chilli flakes.
5. Make small cuts along the length of zucchini, drizzle with a mixture of olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper and cook on a
barbecue grill. Sprinkle with grated parmesan before serving
