SCALLOPED ZUCCHINI



Scalloped Zucchini image

I'm trying to get rid of my many cookbooks, but I want to keep a few recipes from each that sound interesting but never got around to making! This one was called Better Homes and Gardens All Time Favorite Casseroles. Published in 1977

Provided by Carolyn Haas

Categories     Casseroles

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium zucchini or summer squash (2 pounds)
1/4 lb bulk pork sausage
1/4 c onion, chopped
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 c finely crushed saltine crackers (14 crackers)
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/8 tsp dried thyme, crushed (or 1 teaspoon fresh -minced)

Steps:

  • 1. Scrub squash, cut off ends. Do not peel. Cook, covered in boiling salted water till tender - about 15 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Chop zucchini
  • 2. Cook sausage and onion till sausage is browned, drain off fat. RESERVE 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. Add remaining Parmesan, squash, reserved liquid, crackers, eggs, salt ant thyme to sausage, mix well.
  • 3. Turn into 1 1/2 quart casserole, sprinkle top with reserved cheese. Bake, uncovered at 350ºF till set, 40-45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes, as they may be bitter or have a tough texture.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may be undercooked in the center.
  • Use a sharp knife: This will make it easier to slice the zucchini evenly and prevent them from tearing.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the zucchini will not cook evenly and may become mushy. Cook the zucchini in batches if necessary.
  • Use a non-stick pan: This will help prevent the zucchini from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Season the zucchini: Season the zucchini with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add cheese, bread crumbs, or other toppings to your liking.
  • Cook the zucchini until tender: The zucchini should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooking the zucchini will make it mushy.

Conclusion:

Scalloped zucchini is a delicious and versatile summer dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to use up fresh zucchini from your garden or local farmers market. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
