When you cook zucchini down slowly, it takes on a deeper and more delicious flavor. The end result is a spread the consistency of marmalade.
Enjoy zucchini butter on toast, in sandwiches, as a topping for potatoes, as dip with pita chips or crudités, as the “sauce” on a pizza, stirred into scrambled eggs, a condiment for grilled meat, or as a side dish all summer long. Load up on locally grown zucchini at the Lenexa Farmers Market.
