This year, I planted my first real vegetable garden: 1 zucchini plant, 2 heirloom tomatoes, 1 pepper. It's not much, but it's a start (gotta start somewhere, right?).
I had three reasons for planting the zucchini:
- Zucchini bread. My mother-in-law makes it and it is amazing.
- Pan-fried zucchini. With parmesean, parsley or mint, this is a favorite at my house.
- Fried zucchini blossoms. I had them once in a restaurant and want to repeat the experience.
About a week ago, I looked at the window and saw a bright burst of yellow and orange in the garden patch. The first zucchini blossom of the season! This will be the starting point for some good recipe experimentation.
