Zucchini

Summer’s bounty is zucchini and the old adage is if you have friends, plant one zucchini plant, if you have enemies, plant two.  We have four so we have the squashes coming out of our ears but that’s OK, its neutral taste stands up to bolder flavors.  We use it in chili, make zoodles (working on a zoodle preserving/freezing process – more on that later), mix it with sweet potatoes for hash (awesome for breakfast) and more.  The dish below is adapted from a family recipe that has been around as long as I can remember.  It’s so simple to make and yet has a really great flavor and meat stuffed veggies are always a crowd pleaser!  Make your own mayo to use in this – totally worth it.  You can play around with the type of meat you use and this works equally well with eggplants.  If you’re primal, add some grated cheese to the top to finish it off.  If you like hot, add some Hungarian hot peppers to the mix.
