I buy 5 zucchinis a week

Stuffed Zucchini's

8 medium zucchini's
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 clove garlic
1 egg
1 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper


scoop out the insides of the zucchini's. Chop the insides of the zucchini finely, mix it together in a medium bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Pop mix into the zucchini shells. Lay on a backing tray. If you are diary friendly you can sprinkle some parmesan cheese. Bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes.


Zucchini Bread

3 cups shredded zuccini (around 3 medium)
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
3 cups wholemeal self raising flour (you can use white self raising if you like)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
1/2 cup chopped nuts (Optional)
2 tbsp ground linseeds (optional)
1/2 cup mashed sweet potato (optional)

Mix all ingredients together well. Bake in 2 greased bread pans at 350 degrees for around an hour.
I often will not put all the oil in, or use rice bran oil because its healthier. I add all the optionals for weeks when my girls have a terrible diet... so I know that this has some goodness in it.

ETA: I add grated zucchini to heaps of food to bulk it up as well. Anything with minced meat can hide zucchini. Actually yesterday I made homemade pizzas and since the girls had refused vegetables all day I just mixed 1/2 zucchini, 1 handful spinach and 1/4 cup mashed sweet potato with tomato paste and garlic for the pizza sauce. The girls had ham pizza with no cheese and didn't realise that they were getting some goodness in at the same time
