What to do With all that Zucchini: #2 Walnut and Zucchini Sourdough

By NutritionNo Comments

This one may be a huge learning curve if you don’t already have experience making sourdough…but if you do have a little history with sourdough, it’s not such a stretch to make a sourdough that incorporates zucchini.

We are in a zucchini glut right now, so I’m trialling some ideas/recipes that are new to us, and posting the link to the recipe if it was any good. The photos will always be taken here, of the recipe we trialled at home. Sometimes there’s wonderful looking lists of recipe ideas online which sound great, but then you make them and they’re a flop. The goal here is to make sure we’re only sharing recipes that actually worked for us at Birdsong.

I love sourdough, but haven’t really experimented with mix-ins before. The walnuts enhance this bread’s rustic texture, and the zucchini adds moisture content and some aesthetic charm. Thumbs-up for flavour too 🙂

What to do With all that Zucchini: #1 Zucchini Brownies

By NutritionNo Comments

Summer…there’s just about always a glut of something in summer. And right now it’s zucchini. As much as our poultry adore zucchini, I don’t really want to give them much yet…so its time to test-run some new zucchini recipes. I’ll post them if they’re any good 🙂

I’d never tried zucchini brownies before. The results were great, but I made the mistake of icing them with dark chocolate (which many of my children don’t like), so they’re lasting longer than expected! I’d be tucking into them except I’m presently reducing my gluten and sugar intake. I’ve yet to try these on coconut sugar and wholemeal spelt (which would make them a little healthier).

And no, you don’t notice the zucchini.
