But this is a very overripe zucchini.I'd probably make a moussaka, but sub zucchini for eggplant. It would use a lot of it and it tastes great, even leftovers!
Even a veggie lasagna with zucchini instead of the pasta would be a treat.

But this is a very overripe zucchini.
Do you sweat out the shredded zucchini first? With salt in a colander? Every recipe I see does that. and I always feel to lazy to do itI would shred it and make zucchini breads and muffins, then freeze them. I usually use banana as well in those recipes.
Also, you can make zucchini cakes, which are like faux crab cakes. They are delicious and easy to make.
Here's the recipe I use that a friend gave me years ago:
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup fine plain breadcrumbs
Equivalent of 1 egg beaten (I use EnerG egg replacer)
2 TBS melted vegan butter
2 to 3 TBS Old Bay seasoning
4 TBS flour
1 small onion finely chopped
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients well (you might have to use your hands for this after the initial mixing). Shape into patties. Heat a mixture of vegan butter and oil over medium heat, then fry patties until they start to turn brown (I get them good and brown). Flip and do the same on the other side. Drain on a paper towel. Serve with vegan tartar sauce.
You can broil them according to the recipe, but I've never tried that.
One batch makes five or six patties, depending on how big you make them. These are a hit with my family. My mother regularly requests them.
Also, these freeze really well after cooking. I've eating them months after I made them. Microwave them frozen for 1:30 and they are good to go.
I have never seen one that fat and short! My produce market has them as big as my calves this time of year. That's why I was thinking of going today - I forgot. Maybe I'll go tomorrow.
No, the moisture is actually good for the cakes. I love Old Bay. I season fries with it. It reminds me of the "crab fries" I used to get at Phillies' games when I was living in Philly. Loaded with Old Bay!Do you sweat out the shredded zucchini first? With salt in a colander? Every recipe I see does that. and I always feel to lazy to do it
I forgot I have Old Bay. I used to use it a lot, but it's sat around probably a year without being used!
