MAGIC 8 BALL ZUCCHINI---HOLLAND FARMER'S MARKET


The Holland Market has just about everything including the best Dutch treats and breads from the deBoer's Bakkerij.

Two of our favorite vendors, Tom and his sister, at the Holland Farmer's Market. 
Tom and his sister bring lots of different peppers and vegetable to the market.  Yesterday they had zucchini shaped like a ball.  Tom's sister told us she slices them and puts them on the grill.  Sounded good to us!

MAGIC 8 BALL ZUCCHINI
This is a method. The recipe is up to you. There are so many different ways that this method could be used. Miniature veggie pizzas, Italian-style zucchini which is what we did, but Mexican would be wonderful with chili powder, garlic powder, green chiles and Monterrey Jack cheese. What ever sounds good at the moment will work with these cute little balls of zucchini.

Aren't these round zucchini the cutest things?  We used garlic powder, an Italian spice, red onion, tomato and fresh basil from our deck boxes.

Slice Magic 8 Ball Zucchini and brush each side with olive oil.

Sprinkle on seasonings of your choice.  We used garlic and Tuscan Sunset.

Thinly slice some red onions.

Slice tomatoes.  I only had Roma tomatoes. 

Brush onions and tomatoes with olive oil.

Slice cheese of your choice or use shredded Parmesan.

Grill on medium coals for 4 to 5 minutes on one side with the grill cover closed.

Turn zucchini to other side and add other vegetables if using. Grill another 4 to 5 minutes.

Stack zucchini slices with vegetable of your choice.

Top with another vegetable and fresh herbs, if desired.

Top with cheese, if desired, and cover the grill.  Grill until cheese melts.

Varieties that we made.

Enjoy!!!!
