Sunny Zucchini Curry Recipes

ZUCCHINI CURRY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• First off, dice the onions and garlic and grate the ginger.
• Then, add oil to a pan over medium heat and when warm, add in the diced onions and saute about 7 -10 minutes, stirring to keep the onions from burning.
• While the onions are sauteing, dice the zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
• Then add in the ginger, garlic and zucchini into the pan with the sauteed onions and saute about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Add in the coriander, cumin, smoked paprika and turmeric and stir so spices are well incorporated.
• Then, add in the tomato paste, vegetable stock and coconut milk and stir till all three have combined well. Once it has been mixed well, let this simmer about 3-5 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. If you'd like it a bit spicy, add in a teaspoon of chili powder and mix. Garnish with chopped cilantro and enjoy with roti or naan or rice.
• Enjoy!

BAKED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil on the bottom of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Arrange the slices of zucchini in the dish with an overlapping pattern in rows or a spiral in a pie dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
• To make the topping: In a bowl, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, thyme, Parmesan cheese and season with a sprinkle of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir until all the breadcrumbs are soaked with the yellow tint of the oil. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the dish and bake until the top is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

SUNNY ZUCCHINI CURRY

Steps:

• Begin by heating the oil over medium and then adding in the leek. Allow it to cook for a few minutes and become tender, turning that beautiful shade of bright green. Add in the garlic and let that cook for a few minutes.
• Next add the turmeric, chili powder, fresh green chili and salt. Let that cook for just a few minutes then add in the zucchini.
• Add just enough water to the pot to nearly cover the zucchini, about 1/2 an inch below. Cover loosely and let that cook until the zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grind up the coconut flakes and cumin. A coffee grinder that you use for spices works best. You want it to be quite fine, even paste like.
• Once the zukes are cooked, stir in the coconut/cumin mixture - mix it in well. Turn off/move off the heat and then add in a few tbsp of creamer (or yogurt or coconut milk). Adjust seasoning.
• Cover loosely and let sit. The coconut needs some time to become tender -- otherwise it could feel chewy. It may seem thin at first, but it will thicken up a bit. You can always leave it to sit on the back burner for a while and reheat gently prior to serving if you like.

• Add chopped onion and garlic. Saute until soft.
• Add coconut milk and spices.
• Cut zucchini into bite size pieces and add to wok.
• Let everything cook for 7-10 minutes more, depending on desired doness of zucchini and thickness of sauce.
