Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Liz, Thanks for sharing, i am definatley going to try this. I am on Stage 1 foods and want to intro zucchini tomorrow! Holly O Crohns 5/09 Re-started SCD 9/1/09 A friend gave me a very large zucchini (think plastic, toddler-sized, fat baseball bat) and I cut it into julienne strips with my new mandolin. (This is a vegetable chopper-thingy, not a musical instrument. I never heard of one before last week.) I dried out some of the " noodles " in the oven, on a clean towel for about an hour, with the oven turned off after heating to 250.Then, I heated a pan up, put in some olive oil and a bit of butter and a heap of the noodles. Then I sprinkled them with salt and garlic and sauteed them on fairly high heat until they were tender. YUM! My son, who hates zucchini, asked for more and is asking me now to make some more because he's still hungry. This is a major success in my kitchen! Son ASKING for zucchini! So, I'm off to make more. Oh, and the part I didn't tell was that I made one batch and decided to try it and ate the whole (small) panful while waiting for everyone to get home for dinner and had to make a second pan for everyone else. I wasn't very hungry for salmon after that! I'm thinking of spaghetti and meatballs... Whoo hoo! Doesn't take much to make me happy these days!Liz -- Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayup -- that's pretty much the way I make zucchini noodles -- 'cept I use my Excalibur dehydrator. And they are delicious. <g> My father, who hates squash, liked these with cheese sauce. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 It's fun when you make something SCD legal- that you would never have otherwise made- and it turns out really good.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I tried the zucchini noodles a couple of days ago and I put two smooth cotton towels in the pan, because they weren't very big towels and I thought several layers would be good. It worked and nothing caught on fire or started smoking. Does the towel go in the oven? What kind of towel? Paper towel? > I put them on a kitchen towel and put it right in the oven.
