Zucchini With Green Chiles Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large chili pot.
• Sauté all zucchini, squash, celery and chopped onion til tender - about 9 minutes.
• To the pot, add the sauce ingredients to the zucchini mixture.
• Simmer slowly, uncovered, 1-1/2 hour. Stir occasionally.
• Add olives, kidney beans, mushrooms, chunked onion, optional pepper. Simmer 30 minutes.
• Serve over slabs of firm polenta or rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Stir until combined. Add shredded chicken, 1 cup enchilada sauce, and green chiles. Stir until well combined.
• Slice zucchini into thin, wide sheets using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline. Lay out 3 zucchini slices, slightly overlapping, and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on top. Roll up and transfer to a baking dish. Repeat with remaining zucchini and chicken mixture.
• Spread remaining 1/3 cup enchilada sauce over zucchini enchiladas. Sprinkle with Cheddar-Jack cheese blend.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir 2 tablespoons of the melted butter into the cracker crumbs. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 1-inch up the side of a 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake the crust in the center of the preheated oven until it begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, grate the zucchini, preferably using the grating attachment of a food processor. Toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon salt and let drain in a colander for 10 minutes. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat until hot. Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Squeeze the zucchini well with your hands to remove excess moisture. Add the zucchini to the onion and cook over high heat for 3 minutes.
• Stir together the flour, the baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the eggs until thick and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the Monterey jack and cottage cheeses, the flour mixture, and remaining melted butter to the eggs and beat well. Stir in the zucchini mixture and chiles and pour the mixture into the crust. Bake the quiche in the center of the oven until the top is puffed and golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside at room temperature 5 minutes, cut into wedges, and serve with salsa, if desired.

• Top and tail the zucchini, then cut into 1/2 wide strips.
• Slice the strips into matchsticks.
• Stir the zucchini into the onion mixture and fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender.
