Fried Zucchini
Growing up, we ate them fresh out of the frying pan, they seldom made it to the dinner table. Zucchinis fry up well and have a mild taste; they go down very easily. They serve well with grilled meats like, pork, veal, and beef. Be prepared to fry up plenty because they fly right off the plate!
They are also great flavored with a little vinegar. See our marinated zucchini recipe.
