Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium zucchini (2 1/2 to 3 pounds total)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup panko (Japanese bread flakes)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Trim the stem end of the zucchini, cut them in half lengthwise, and scoop out a small channel of seeds with a regular teaspoon. Place the zucchini in one layer on a sheet pan, brush generously all over with olive oil, and turn the zucchini cut side down. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until just tender but still firm when tested with the tip of a small paring knife.
  • Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the panko and 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil and mix well.
  • Turn the zucchini cut side up and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the panko mixture evenly on each zucchini. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the panko is crispy. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 medium zucchini
Good olive oil
2 large yellow onions cut in half and sliced 1/2 inch thick
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
  • Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.

ZUCCHINI PARMESAN



Zucchini Parmesan image

This is a simple layered casserole with three elements: roasted zucchini, a really good homemade tomato sauce and Parmesan. Roasting, rather than frying the zucchini, allows you to cut down on olive oil and time.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, casseroles, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 2½ pounds fresh ripe tomatoes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 to 4 garlic cloves (to taste)
Salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 sprigs fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 to 2¼ pounds zucchini
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (pepperoncini), to taste
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • If you have a food mill, quarter tomatoes. If not, peel, seed and chop them. (See step 5.)
  • To make tomato sauce, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar and basil sprigs. Increase heat to medium-high. When tomatoes are bubbling briskly, stir and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down and are beginning to stick to pan, 15 to 25 minutes, depending on consistency. Remove basil sprigs; taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment. Trim ends off zucchini and cut in half crosswise, then into lengthwise slices, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Season on both sides with salt and pepper and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange zucchini slices on baking sheets in one layer and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Roast for 12 minutes, until lightly browned and easily pierced with a knife. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 375 degrees.
  • If using a food mill, put sauce through medium blade. If not, pulse sauce in a food processor fitted with steel blade until just coarsely puréed. Stir in chopped basil.
  • To assemble the dish, oil a 2-quart gratin with olive oil. Spread 1/4 cup tomato sauce over bottom of dish. Arrange a third of the zucchini in an even layer over tomato sauce. Spoon a third of remaining sauce over zucchini and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Repeat with 2 more layers, ending with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Drizzle on remaining tablespoon olive oil. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until bubbling and browned on the top and edges. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 Sandwiches, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 eggplants (I like the Japanese or the small eggplants, no need to peel, you will need 12 slices total)
1 zucchini (About 3 slices cut in half - 6 slices total, skin on cut lengthwise)
6 slices portabello mushrooms
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
15 ounces tomato puree
2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
1 onion (medium fine chopped)
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, and chopped
18 1/4 inches slice fresh mozzarella cheese (they can be cut in half or broken up, make sure it is very thin sliced. Freeze ahead and then use a )
2 cups parmesan cheese
2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil (1 for the bread crumbs, 3 for the vegetables)
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Vegetables -- Thin slice the zucchini, lengthwise and then cut in half skin on, same with the eggplant. Then slice the portabellos the same way. Drizzle all with olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and cook 15-20 minutes until golden brown and 1/2 way cooked. Lightly soft but not over done. Remove and let cool.
  • Sauce -- Add a little olive oil just a teaspoon to a pot and add the onion, garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, a little salt and pepper and cook and just let simmer for 10-12 minutes as you prepare all the other ingredients.
  • Topping -- Make the bread crumbs, just mix the bread crumbs and olive oil in a small bowl to combine.
  • Sandwich time -- Now, we are making a sandwich basically. Three layers. First add a little sauce about 3/4 cup to the bottom of a small casserole dish. Then -- Eggplant (1 slice), sauce (just a tablespoon or so), and cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then zucchini, sauce (1 tablespoon or so), cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then mushrooms, sauce , cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then topped with eggplant, and the sauce. Divide among the 6 sandwiches and top well. Then top with bread crumbs, and parmesan.
  • Bake -- at 350 for 30-40 minutes until nice and bubbly and bread crumbs are nice and brown. My oven takes around 30 minutes.
