Zucchinibuffalochili Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the chili powder and cook, stirring, until the scallions are coated and the oil is brick red, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken, 1/2 cup of the salsa and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Set aside.
• Halve the zucchini lengthwise and arrange cut-side down on a work surface. Use a Y-shaped vegetable peeler to shave off ribbons the entire length of each zucchini and as wide as possible (the first few may be too skinny). Make 36 zucchini ribbons total.
• Lay out 3 ribbons, slightly overlapping to make a rectangle (think of this as your "tortilla"). Pile about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down along one of the short ends of the zucchini tortilla and then roll up to enclose the filling. Put in a 2- to 3-quart baking dish. Roll up the remaining zucchini ribbons and filling and arrange in the dish. Top the rolls with the remaining 1 cup salsa. Add several dashes of the hot sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot, about 25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes. Thin the sour cream out with a little water and drizzle over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and serve with more hot sauce if you'd like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Cut off the end of each zucchini then using a vegetable peeler, peel each zucchini into wide strips.
• Transfer the zucchini strips to a plate then layer two strips vertically and two strips horizontally to make a cross. Repeat process with remaining strips.
• Heat a pan over medium-high heat.
• Add olive oil then garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Add spinach, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until wilted down.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the spinach and garlic. Add the ricotta, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
• Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and place in the middle of each zucchini noodle cross.
• Fold each side to seal the ricotta mixture then flip over the ravioli so the seam side is on the bottom.
• In a baking dish pour the marinara sauce then smooth with a spatula.
• Evenly place the zucchini raviolis then top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Serve with fresh basil.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add oil, onion, zucchini, squash, and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, or until soft.
• Add buffalo, cook and stir until brown.
• Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beans, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and salt.
• If chili is too thick, add water or beer to achieve desired consistency. Simmer for at least 1 hour.
• Ladle into bowls and serve piping hot. Garnish with cilantro and/or whatever you usually like atop your chili.

Steps:

• Adjust 2 oven racks to the top and bottom third of an oven and preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Put the wire racks in the baking sheets and coat each generously with cooking spray.
• Combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cayenne in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Combine the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another large plastic bag; combine the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a third large plastic bag.
• Add about half of the zucchini sticks to the bag with the flour and use a combination of your hands and shaking the bag to coat the zucchini. Remove the zucchini and shake off any excess flour. Transfer to the egg wash and repeat until coated. (It's less messy if you use only one hand for the dry ingredients and the other for the wet.) Let any excess egg drip off before transferring to the breadcrumb and repeat until fully coated (you'll still see some green and white of the zucchini peeking through the breading). Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and coat the breaded zucchini generously with cooking spray (there's no need to turn them). Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom about halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the Buffalo sauce: Combine the hot sauce, butter and vinegar in a small saucepan and heat over medium, stirring, until all of the butter has melted and the sauce is warm. Set aside and keep warm.
• Arrange the fries on a platter and drizzle them with the Buffalo sauce. Sprinkle the blue cheese and celery leaves over the top. Serve with celery and carrot sticks if desired.

Steps:

• Heat electric fry pan to 250°F.
• Mix eggs and milk in bowl.
• Soak handful of zucchini slices in mixture.
• Lightly shake them off and coat them with flour.
• Place each slice in the fry pan with plenty of butter.
• Repeat until all slices are in the pan.
• Cook until each side is dark brown.
• Salt and pepper slices to taste.
• Enjoy!
