Zucchini Season is Here...What do I do with all of these zucchini's?

ZUCCHINI GRATIN

Serves: 2

1 lb Zucchini, grated (3 ½ to 4 cups)
2 Tbl Grated Parmesan cheese
Sea salt and ground pepper to taste
2 tsp Olive oil

Place the grated zucchini in a microwavable dish. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Drain off all water as soon as removed from microwave. Spread half the zucchini in a shallow ovenproof dish. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Cover with remaining zucchini and finish with Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle olive oil on top. Place in preheated 400 degree oven for 5 minutes or until cheese melts. This makes a great side dish for broiled fish or chicken.

Is Frozen Food Safe?
According to the USDA, Food stored constantly at 0 °F will always be safe. Only the quality suffers with lengthy freezer storage. Freezing keeps food safe by slowing the movement of molecules, causing microbes to enter a dormant stage. Freezing preserves food for extended periods because it prevents the growth of microorganisms that cause both food spoilage and foodborne illness. This is how most restaurants reduce their food costs by freezing foods to extend the safe usable life of most foods. If you have questions on how to reduce your foods costs at home, send me an email or post a question on the blog.
