Disguising the Green Stuff

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Russell's parents have an amazing garden that is producing loads and loads of delicious tomatoes and zucchinis. We are some of the lucky beneficiaries of this garden. :) Before this summer I've really only used zucchini to make zucchini bread. I guess you could say I was a novice to zucchinis, so I've started looking for other ways to use this vegetable. Last night I made some yummy waffles for dinner and a after a few bites Russ exclaimed "what are these little green specs??" Mwwahahahaha! Besides the green flecs here and there, he couldn't even tell that I loaded one extremely large zucchini into those waffles. I do love vegetables, but I love them even more when they are disguised in some scrumptious waffles slathered in syrup.


So if you have zucchini's that need to be used or feel the need to disguise some greens in your family's diet, I dare you to try this recipe. Zucchini may become your new favorite food. 

// If you do happen to try this recipe, I ended up adding another 1/2 to 3/4 a cup of flour. The first few I made were a little limp and were asking for some more substance. Just a tip. //

SO glad you posted this recipe! Everyone at work is unloading their zucchini onto my desk--I love it, and making some zucchini waffles seems like a great change of pace...

my fav way to eat is slice the green vegtable (get a big one so that they look like silvwer dollars, soak them in a bowl of 3 eggs and a little water or mix the water and egg concoction and brush it on the rounds coat each round and dip both sides in smushed crackers or panko bread crumbs .
pour a litle olive oil in fry pan and fry each side until crispy and lightly browned. I season mine with the red robin spice you can buy at wa la red robin. or you can sprinkle it with onion powder or garlic drain on paper owl and enjoy. I am not a good vegtable eater, love green salads and relish trays,but like paula dea I love butter and any thing fried or dipped in olive oil this is good stuff
