Zucchini balls!
The variety of veggies grown by the local farmers continues to amuse me. I couldn’t resist picking up a couple of these tennis-ball-sized zucchini at the market the other day.
Their breadth makes me think they would be excellent sliced up and stacked moussaka-style with other veggies (or grilled and used to top a veggie burger). They can also be hollowed out and stuffed. I just pan-fried the sliced-up balls in olive oil and served them with some homemade tomato sauce. They were juicy and delicious.

Wow, zucchini balls? They look quite useful. You know, since u mentioned the zucchini flowers i’ve seen them fried up twice on TV. Strange how that always happens. I’m so jealous of your market.

I’ve seen some of these at my local farmer’s market. One of the restaurants next to the market came up with a neat recipe for them. It was essentially a stuffed zucchini ball with some kind of pasta on the inside. No clue on the specifics, but it sure tasted great.

You must have so much fun at the market!
I’ve never ever seen that on the stalls or in books before. Has this type of courgette been around for a long time?

60 in 3, that sounds good! I might have to get some more this week and try stuffing them.
Celine - good question. A quick internet search came up with one site claiming it is “fairly new”, but no idea beyond that…
