Guy Fieri Dynamites Recipe Recipe For Zucchini

CRISPY ZUCCHINI CHIPS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Pour a couple inches of oil into a large, shallow, heavy gauge or cast-iron pot. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees F.
• Place the flour into a shallow, medium container. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, oregano, thyme and granulated garlic in another shallow, medium container. To a third shallow container, add the panko crumbs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Working in batches, dredge the the zucchini in the flour, patting off the excess. Next, dip into the buttermilk mixture. Moisten completely, and allow the excess liquid to drip away. Place the zucchini into the panko crumbs and coat evenly. As you work, lay the zucchini chips onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Once the oil is ready, fry the zucchini chips in batches, until they are a crispy golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fried zucchini to paper-towel-lined dish and drain.
• Serve the crispy zucchini on a platter immediately. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, and serve with Roasted Garlic Aioli and lemon wedges
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Take the whole heads of garlic and cut the tops off to expose the garlic cloves. Place on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap up the foil into a tight pouch, and then place in the oven and roast for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Squeeze the pulp from the skins (you'll need 1/3 cup).
• In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce and some salt and pepper. Pulse until well combined. Refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with parsley.

ZUCCHINI FENNEL NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Saute the prosciutto, stirring, until crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• Place the zucchini and fennel in a colander and sprinkle lightly with salt. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and become pliable, then transfer to a large bowl.
• Whisk the 1/4 cup olive oil, fennel fronds, mustard, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Dress the vegetables. Serve topped with the pecorino and sprinkled with chives.

TIPSY GARDEN PASTA

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over high heat, add the oil and when hot, add the onions and saute for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the red chile flakes and garlic and saute for 1 minute longer. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper and add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add in the mushrooms, zucchini, and canned tomatoes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for 5 minutes, and then add the spinach and cream. Cook until heated through and just starting to thicken, about 4 minutes. Finish with the vodka, combine, and turn off the heat. Add the pasta to the pan, combine gently, place on a serving platter or in individual serving bowls, and garnish with the Parmesan and diced tomatoes.

DYNAMITES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, bell peppers, tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes to the saucepan; stir.
• Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until the peppers are soft and the beef is tender, 4 to 6 hours.

DYNAMITE

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper, red pepper, yellow onion and red onion to the skillet, and cook until meat is evenly browned and vegetables are tender. Drain excess grease from the pan.
• Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker, and stir in tomato paste, water and red pepper flakes. Cover, and cook at the Low setting for at least 4 hours. I usually let it go for 12. The longer it simmers, the spicier it gets! Spoon into torpedo rolls and serve.

ZUCCHINI GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a very large (12-inch) saute pan and cook the onions over low heat for 20 minutes, or until tender but not browned. Add the zucchini and cook, covered, for 10 minutes, or until tender. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes. Stir in the flour. Add the hot milk and cook over low heat for a few minutes, until it makes a sauce. Pour the mixture into an 8 by 10-inch baking dish.
• Combine the bread crumbs and Gruyere and sprinkle on top of the zucchini mixture. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter cut into small bits and bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.

FRIED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a deep, heavy bottomed pot and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Make the breading mixture by combining the breadcrumbs, and Parmesan in a medium bowl. Mix to blend. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and the splash of water.
• Place the zucchini in a large bowl and season with salt. Toss to blend. Sprinkle lightly with flour (use a sieve) to dredge then toss to coat evenly - this will help the breading to stick. Submerge the zucchini in the eggs. Remove the pieces, 1 by 1, shaking off excess egg and them roll them in the breadcrumb mixture until they are coated on all sides. Transfer to a platter or baking sheet.
• When the oil comes up to temperature, test the oil by dropping in one piece of zucchini. It should rise to the surface fairly quickly, begin the bubble and fry gradually. Prepare a baking sheet fitted with a kitchen towel and a slotted spoon (or, alternatively, a spider) to remove the zucchini from the oil. Drop a few pieces of zucchini into the oil and gently swirl the oil as they fry. This swirling will allow the zucchini to move around a lot, assuring they fry more evenly on all sides. When they are light to medium brown, remove them with the spoon and lay them out on the kitchen towel to cool. Sprinkle with a touch of salt and paprika. Repeat.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
