Ah, the summer bounty of the zucchini!

My friend Norma has a beautiful vegetable garden. She freely bestows extra veggies to her buddies, and recently saved a special one for me- a zucchini roughly the size and shape of two footballs put together. She had spent a long weekend away, and came back to find this monster squash lurking behind another plant.

This was a lot of zucchini, for a single zucchini. My fear was it would be bitter. So, I grated the thing up and made a curry zucchini soup and still have enough left over to make a giant chocolate zucchini bundt cake this weekend.

What are your go-to recipes for dealing with zucchini? Or, do you just give 'em away when you've got too many?

UPDATE: Chocolate zucchini bread was a big success, which was good, because I had enough zucchine left over to make three of them...

    We make stuffed zucchini which is just wonderful but you want to have the tender one's and you hollow them out and stuff as you would a green pepper and put mozzarella cheese on top while baking. Delicious a must try.
