Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

We've had great success with the following method. Works well with eggplant also.
Slice zucchini/yellow squash/eggplant into 1/4 inch slices (either long ways or in rounds).
Dip in beaten egg, then in seasoned breadcrumbs.
Freeze individually on a large sheet pan.
Once frozen, put them in a freezer bag.
For cooking, take out the amount you need, do not let them thaw.
Bake on a greased cookie sheet.
Eat as is, or use to layer in a casserole recipe.
Excellent!

Subject: [MittleiderMethodGardening] Freezing Zucchini

Hello!

I suggest that you blanch your grated zuchinni, squeeze out the excess
liquid and then freeze it. I both froze unblanched and blanched grated
zuchinni and had better results with the blanched. However, the real trick
seems to be to squeeze out the excess fluid (save it for soup?!) before
using it in baking or cooking. I have have some very good results with a
little adjustment to the dry ingredients and/or liquids.....

Best of luck this year!
