I like aubergines!

Me too, but I really love courgette.

I can’t begin to understand dry salad guy though.

You would really like Gootah ( Kutah) no skin peeling,never bitter

I grew those in our garden one summer and we had so many and they grew so big that we didn't know what to do with all of them.  They were great pickled as @lkapigian said, but after a while we just got tired of eating them.

Make it into a relish and boom!

We have these in India too. They're better than cucumbers, IMO.

(We call them kakdi).

This video popped up on my EweTube today, and Chef John duplicated something Stanley Tucci (news channel star who did 3 great videos in Italy before COVID shut him down), and both Stan and John raved about it.  Pomme Frites is about the only vegetable I would ever consider frying twice, and here they do it with... zucchini!  I don't have a deep fryer so haven't tried this, but it did look interesting, so here it is, FWIW.

grilled and marinated zucchini salad, for the zucchini haters

marinaded in a fresh herb vinaigrette for a few hours then onto the grill with some grilled corn. added kalamata olives, roasted red onion, indigo blue and sweet 100 tomatoes from the garden, more vinaigrette, lemon juice, parmigiana cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds

best corn in years, must have been all the rain

where was this thread a month ago when I was swimming in zucchini ?  Some great ideas here

Thanks for all of the ideas, even the zucchini haters.

@stlcharcoal thank your mom for me

We made these last night

https://www.foodandwine.com/drinks/make-refreshing-zucchini-cocktail-now

which were really good, you can taste the zucchini but it’s not strong, just adds to the herby profile.

We also made zucchini ravioli following this recipe 

https://www.asaucykitchen.com/zucchini-ravioli/

which was excellent, but it needs some small tweaks for next time.  1/4” is just too thick for the zucchini or I need to weep it much longer.  It didn’t hold its shape, so it was kind of a messy lasagna. The roasted and burst tomatoes and the pesto ricotta mixed to make an incredible sauce, if only I had a loaf of sourdough on hand to get it all.

I made this tonight and agree it's great!  I did buy some garlic bread to go along with it and it paired very nicely with the "juices".

I’m glad you liked it too.  I will definitely make this again.
