ZUCCHINI CORNBREAD RECIPE



Zucchini Cornbread Recipe image

This savory Zucchini cornbread is comfort food! Combining the last of summers bounty with the homey nurturing cornmeal. Perfect for embracing fall as the weather turns cooler here in the Pacific Northwest. This is a lovely accompaniment to soup for a cozy meal. I love the crunchy crust that develops from baking in a cast-iron skillet.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

10 oz (about 2 cups) grated zucchini
¼ teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter ( 4 ounces)
¾ cups cornmeal
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup sharp cheddar, grated ( divided)
2 eggs, room temperature preferably
½ cup buttermilk (or sub full fat plain yogurt)
1/8 cup maple syrup
½ cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
2 green onions, finely chopped
½ - 1 jalapeño, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • In a 10" cast iron skillet, melt butter and set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, mix together grated zucchini and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, oregano, cumin, paprika and 3/4 cup grated cheddar. Add the jalapeno, corn and scallions. Mix to combine well.
  • In a separate bowl beat the eggs, add buttermilk and maple syrup. Pour the cooled, melted butter from the cast iron pan into the egg mixture, a little at a time, whisking as you go. You will be baking the cornbread in the nicely buttered skillet, so don't clean it out! Brush sides with butter.
  • Place salted zucchini in a cheesecloth or clean dish towel and gently squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • Add the wet egg mixture to the flour/cornmeal mixture. Ever so gently fold in the zucchini mixing just to combine. It will be quite thick, more like dough than a batter. Carefully press into the skillet, smoothing just enough to even it out. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes, until deeply golden and puffed.

SAVORY CHEDDAR BREAD



Savory Cheddar Bread image

I often serve this cheddar bread along with bowls of steaming homemade soup. It helps warm my cattle-raiser husband and our two sons on chilly evenings up here in Canada. Baking for family and neighbors keeps me busy. Just yesterday, when he was here to check the herd, our veterinarian paid me quite a compliment. I served him some cinnamon buns I'd made-and, after tasting them, he said I should open my own coffee shop!

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Grate the zucchini. Use a box grater or a food processor to grate the zucchini. Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the batter.
  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but you can also use frozen or canned corn. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at a high temperature. This will help the cornbread to rise and brown properly. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking.
  • Let the cornbread cool completely. This will allow the flavors to develop and the bread to firm up.

Conclusion:

Savory cheddar zucchini cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new cornbread recipe, give this one a try!
