Provided by Judy McAllister

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Zucchini Bread Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup coarsely chopped zucchini
1 cup milk
½ cup chopped onion
2 eggs
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ¼ cups cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, and place it into the oven while it preheats.
  • Place the zucchini, milk, onion, eggs, and vegetable oil into a blender, and pulse 5 to 8 times, until thoroughly mixed and the zucchini and onion have been chopped into very small pieces.
  • Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Pour the zucchini mixture into the cornmeal mixture, stirring to combine, and gently mix in the Cheddar cheese.
  • Carefully pour the batter into the hot greased skillet, smooth it out with a spoon, and bake until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and flavorful casserole, use fresh zucchini and corn. Grating the zucchini and corn helps them blend seamlessly into the batter.
  • For a crispy cornbread crust, be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking. You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon on top of the casserole before baking for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Feel free to experiment with different variations of the recipe, such as adding diced bell peppers, chopped onions, or crumbled chorizo for a more savory flavor.
  • If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish instead. Just adjust the baking time accordingly, as it may take a few minutes longer in a traditional baking dish.

Conclusion:

This Spanish zucchini cornbread casserole is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. It is a perfect dish for a summer potluck or backyard barbecue, and it can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. With its moist cornbread base, tender zucchini, sweet corn, and flavorful spices, this casserole is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
