How do you prepare your zucchini?

The only thing I've every done with them is the Women's Weekly Zucchini slice, or throw them into a soup or stew. Other ideas are always welcome (although my ideas are always higher than my productivity).

My mother did not like zucchini bread but she really liked this version.

ZUCCHINI APPLE BREAD

¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup cooking oil
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup sucralose
2 eggs
¾ cup zucchini, peeled and coarsely grated
1 red delicious apple, peeled, cored and coarsely grated
1½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch ground nutmeg
1 red delicious apple, peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup walnut halves

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a standard loaf pan with butter.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, oil and sugar.
Cream the mixture until smooth. Sift the flour, spices, baking soda,
baking powder and salt and set aside. Add the egg to the sugar
mixture and beat until creamy. Add the sifted flour mixture, about
½ cup at a time until all is incorporated and the batter is smooth.
Squeeze and drain the grated zucchini and grated apple. Fold the
zucchini, apple, apple slices and walnuts into the batter. For a
moister bread, don't squeeze all the liquid out of the zucchini and
apple. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55 to 60
minutes until golden brown or when wooden toothpick inserted in
the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool for 10
minutes before serving. Serve the bread warm.

Mashed potatoes: When I was in Toulouse, France, I went into a lovely gourmet food store in search of truffle oil. The friendly saleslady took me aside and told me that a wonderful use for that truffle oil was to add a very little bit to mashed potatoes. WOW! Decadent!

I once had lunch at a friend's (she was married to an italian) and she did zucchini fried in egg. It was very nice.

Sucralose is the generic version of Splenda, a sugar substitute. You can use the same amount of sugar if you don't have or don't want to use Sucralose.
