Easy Dilled Zucchini Recipes

Steps:

• Place zucchini in a large skillet and cover with water; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 12-14 minutes or until tender. Drain; brush with butter. Sprinkle with dill, salt and pepper if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until zucchini is crisp-tender and starting to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add lemon juice and dill. Cook, tossing, about 1 minute more.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vinegar, salt, mustard seeds, chile flakes and 3 cups water to a simmer. Cook until the salt has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Divide the dill, garlic, zucchini and onions evenly between 2 quart-size mason jars.
• Pour the hot liquid into the mason jars to cover the ingredients and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Serve immediately or cover with lids and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, then add the chopped zucchini, dill, and rice. Cook and stir until the zucchini is softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the water, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
• Make a sauce by mixing the yogurt, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Serve over the lukewarm zucchini and rice.

Steps:

• Toss zucchini and onion with salt in a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight to drain. Rinse vegetables with cold water and drain well.
• Mix dry mustard, celery seed, nutmeg, and black pepper in a bowl.
• Heat vinegar, sugar, spice mix, zucchini mixture, and red bell pepper in a large pot over medium heat. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the vegetables into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 25 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

Steps:

• If using 4" zucchini, halve lengthwise. If using 8" zucchini, halve crosswise, then quarter lengthwise. Place in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons salt and 4 cups ice. Add cold water to cover. Top with a plate to keep submerged. Let sit for 2 hours. Drain; rinse.
• Divide dill sprigs and next 6 ingredients between 2 clean, hot 1-quart jars; set aside.
• Bring vinegar, sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Working in batches, add zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until khaki in color and slightly pliable, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer zucchini to jars.
• Divide hot syrup between jars to cover zucchini, leaving 1/2" space on top. Wipe rims, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Allow at least a week to pickle before eating.

Steps:

• Cook and stir zucchini, onion and garlic in oil in skillet over medium heat until zucchini is light brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper; remove from heat. Mix sour cream and dill; stir into zucchini mixture, until heated through.
• This is as good at room temperature as it is hot.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute zucchini in butter until crisp-tender. Stir in flour. Add water, lemon juice, sugar and salt if desired; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and dill.

Steps:

• Wash zucchini and cut into thin lengthwise slices.
• Cover with 1 inch water and 1/4 cup salt.
• Let stand for 2 hours.
• Drain thoroughly.
• Place celery seeds, and mustard seeds in a spice bag.
• Add spice bag to the water, vinegar, sugar and remaining 1/4 cup salt.
• Bring mixture to a boil.
• Pour hot brine over zucchini slices and allow to stand for 2 hours.
• Bring all ingredients to boiling point and cook for 5 minutes.
• Place zucchini slices and brine into 4 clean and hot pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. To each jar add 1 head dill, 1/4 tsp cayenne, and 1 clove garlic. Seal.
• Process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife (a small paring knife works best), score the zucchini flesh in a crisscross pattern, taking care not to slice all the way through.
• Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, mirin, granulated sugar and soy sauce. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk until combined.
• Liberally brush the cut sides of the zucchini with the glaze. Drizzle each piece with a little oil.
• Heat a large grill pan (or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet) over medium-high. When hot, working in batches, place the zucchini, glazed side down, onto the hot surface. Press the zucchini onto the surface to encourage charring. (If you're using a regular skillet, you may need to add more oil to the pan.) Cook without moving for 2 to 4 minutes until golden and charred.
• Flip the zucchini over onto the skin side, reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. To check for doneness, give the sides of the zucchini a squeeze; if it yields easily, it is ready.
• Remove the zucchini from the pan and brush more glaze over the cut side. Serve on its own or on top of rice, if desired, and scatter with scallions and sesame seeds.
