Summertime Zucchini,
Tomato & Basil Bake
While this side dish is best in the summer with garden fresh vegetables,
our markets make it easy to get these ingredients all year ’round.
Makes 4 servings
2 medium green zucchini, each 1 1 ⁄
2
inches in diameter
6 ripe plum tomatoes
10 large fresh basil leaves
1 large clove garlic, peeled and halved
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ cup freshly grated Reggiano Parmesan cheese
Preheat the toaster oven to 350ºF on bake setting.
Trim the ends of the zucchini. Cut into ¼-inch-thick slices. Cut the
tomatoes into ¼-inch-thick slices. (This can be done using a Cuisinart ®
food processor and the 6mm slicing disc.) Stack the basil, roll, then cut
into very thin strips with a sharp knife to produce a shred. Set aside.
Rub the garlic clove over the bottom of an 8 x 8-inch glass or ceramic
baking dish, and discard the garlic. Brush baking dish with 1 teaspoon of
the olive oil.
Arrange the zucchini and tomato slices in a single layer, overlapping them
tightly. Season with the salt and pepper. Scatter the shredded basil evenly
over the zucchini and tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, then
sprinkle evenly with the grated cheese.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the zucchini is tender. Serve hot or at
room temperature.

Orzo-Stuffed Squash
This is a perfect complement to grilled meats or seafood,
or a delicious vegetarian entrée.
Makes 4 servings
cooking spray
4 medium yellow squash (6-8 ounces each)
2 teaspoons + 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
½ cup minced red onion
½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 teaspoon basil
1 cup cooked orzo, pastina, or rice
1 tablespoon chopped flat parsley
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
(can use reduced fat cheese)
Steam squash for 12 to 15 minutes until crisp-tender. When cool enough
to handle, cut a lengthwise strip from the top of each squash and reserve;
scoop out the pulp from the lids and the shells, discarding the seeds and
leaving ¼-inch-thick shells. Invert the shells on a cooling rack over a towel
and let drain for 30 minutes. Chop the squash lids and reserve.
