Baked Zucchini Sticks and Sweet Onion Dip: that bloomin' zucchini!
Today, class, it being late July and all, we’re going to examine our zucchini facts: •Zucchini is always at the end of any A-to-Z food list; •Zucchini and fruitcake are the undeserving targets of many a joke; •The zucchini plant literally grows like a weed, making it absolutely ubiquitous in vegetable gardens across America; •And for that reason, enterprising cooks have discovered ways to turn it into muffins, and cake, and pancakes, and… Baked Zucchini Sticks. You know that onion appetizer that came into bloom back in the late ’80s? Outback Steakhouse claims it invented the “Bloomin’ Onion” back in 1988, and it wasn’t long before quasi-fast food restaurants adopted it as the hottest appetizer since artichoke dip baked in a bread bowl. These zucchini sticks, with their melty-soft interior and crisp crust, are reminiscent of those onions – and equally addictive, especially when served with their special onion-mustard dip. Ready to go beyond muffins, bread, kebabs, and frittata? Warning!

edible perspective - Home - Curry Grilled Zucchini Roll&Ups
This recipe was a total accident. Kelsey was over for dinner the other week and we both contributed whatever vegetables we had in our fridge. Our plan was to make a big pot of quinoa, grill a boat-load of veggies, top them with goat cheese + avocado, eat from a massive bowl, and feast. I started the pot of quinoa with a few Italian seasonings thrown in before thinking about how we were going to spice the veggies. Then I asked Kelsey what flavor she was in the mood for, for the veggies. Barbeque sauced, herby, smoked, Mexican, curry spiced? She jumped all over curry spiced idea. And who would have thought goat cheese + curry would pair so well together? Why not wrap up curry grilled zucchini with a little goat cheese and roasted red pepper? Print this!

This is the perfect “for company” recipe when you want to serve a delicious dish that everyone will *love* and will super-impress your guests and have them all *begging* for the recipe. And it has a nice presentation on the plate! I adapted this recipe from a recipe on the Sunday Baker’s recipe blog. Here’s how I make mine.. Rinse 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in cold water. Layer between 2 sheets of wax paper and pound until even thickness. I almost always pound my chicken breasts, no matter what method of cooking, because if they’re even, they’ll cook more evenly *and* I think they make a better presentation. Now for the marinade… Ingredients: 1 egg, beaten 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice (mix together and let sit for 10 mins and this becomes a substitute for buttermilk) 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder The Breading Mix… Meanwhile…
