Every summer, we plant zucchini. And every summer, we are up to our eyeballs in zucchini. Last year, all that we knew to do with it was sliced in pasta sauce, grilled or in zucchini bread. Being so abundant in Northern California, we figured there had to be more ways to utilize this delicious summer squash. And there are! This recipe is best with slightly bigger and fatter zucchini than what you'd find at the grocery store. Homegrown zucchini that were left to grow a day too long are perfect. If you use smaller ones, you'll probably need more of them. Or use smaller ones as a side dish.

Picadillo
A little known Mexican dish that is oh so yummy. This is the recipe my paternal grandma taught me. I've found other versions in cookbooks but they have way more ingredients that don't make sense to me (Cooking sherry? Really?). But this is so simple and delicious you don't need any of that mumbo jumbo.
