Boiled Zucchini - Allergy Free CookBook

Zucchini can be steamed or boiled. Steamed zucchini may need to be peeled because it does not cook the skin to an edible texture. Whether sliced, or diced, it is not necessary to cut off the skin, unless it has become too thick from growing too long. Large zucchini can be difficult to chop. Adding ham bits to zucchini increases flavor. Zucchini does not shrink up quite as far as yellow squash and therefore goes further. It is better with some meals than others, particularly steak or roast. Because the texture is different, some people prefer yellow squash over zucchini.
