The zucchini are slowly coming in. I’m only averaging one a day but there are still many more blossoms. I decided to try to use the newly picked zucchini in a rice pilaf. The flavor was mild and much sweeter then I expected. The kids reaction to having green specks in their rice was exactly what I expected – “I no like that.” The husband went back for seconds. If I make this again I’ll be adding sautéed onions before adding the rice and I’ll toss in some frozen peas after it is done.
Zucchini Rice Pilaf
- 1 T butter, sweet unsalted
- 1 c short grain rice
- 1 small zucchini, grated
- 2 c water
Melted butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir in rice and grated zucchini and heat through. Add water then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes.
