Recipe: Frozen Zucchini Mixes

What do you do with those giant zucchini? Put one in the fridge, then slip it into the foot of your partner's bed. . .well, here's a better use. But maybe not as fun.
Uses: In snack breads, soup, spaghetti sauce, lasagne or casserole, anywhere that would benefit from an extra veggie.
Tip: Other veggies can be good candidates, carrots or other roots just microwave for a minute or so until steamy, no salt necessary.

8 cups shredded Zucchini, skins on.
1 tsp salt

Mix and let stand in a bowl for 1 hour. Then lay out on a dish towel, wrap up and wring out over the sink. Put a piece of parchment on a large tray. Take the compacted Zucchini and portion out into 1 cup servings. Freeze, then put into freezer bags. When using in a recipe, cut the salt added in half.
