That is a fantastic picture. We love zucchini but I tightly control how much we plant, less we become so sated we lose our appetite for it. I hope you have a wonderful day.

It is SO similar to the other one I just made with the lemon glaze. Eerily similar. The olive oil batter was lucious. <br />Secondly, what a MASTERPIECE! This dish is truly a labour of love, but once the ingredients are in place, would be pretty straightforward. I am making it. Definitely. This week.<br />Thirdly, where did you get fresh spot prawns in the valley? We don't get them out here. I am going to order them next year from my monger as I have never tasted them and after seeing Lynn Crawford's motherload of them on one of her shows, they are on "the list". But, I do have shells and heads in the deepfreeze right now waiting to be made into a bisque, so this will be perfect. Can you actually taste the zucchini, or is it just colour and texture and nutrition that they add to this dish?<br />:)<br />ValerieA Canadian Foodiehttp://www.acanadianfoodie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-24976804578946829852010-09-13T05:51:37.221-07:002010-09-13T05:51:37.221-07:00Zucchini wars?

I don't have a garden anymore but in the days when I did, I could have supplied the nearest school! We needed to come up with some really creative recipes.<br />And you certainly did with this delicious risotto.
