Teaching Cooking

I have taught basic cooking to my seven children and to classes of elementary children. When my youngest daughter wanted to learn, I found that taking the recipes and making them into a step-by-step format made it easier for her, so here is a blog to hopefully make cooking easier for the beginner.

Shredded Zucchini Griddle

Shredded Zucchini Griddle

This recipe will be a little different because it will be based on how big of a griddle you had and how many you are feeding. I used half of a 14 inch zucchini to make enough for two of us to eat.  Well, it turned out to be not quite enough because we loved it!  So here are the basic directions and you can develop it as you need to.

Step 1. Shred the zucchini.  Remember that zucchini has a lot of water and so the amount will shrink a lot as you cook it.

Step 2.  Chop up some onion.  The amount will depend on how much you like onion, but I really feel like you should add some because of the flavor it adds.  If you don't like onions, just a small amount chopped very small will add the flavor you need.

Step 3.  Warm your griddle to 400 degrees.  Pour about a tablespoon of oil on the griddle and spread it around.  Sprinkle you onion on it and quickly spread it around.

Step 4.  Sprinkle the shredded zucchini onto the griddle.  Try to make it as even as possible.

Step 5.  Sprinkle with dried chives.  Then sprinkle with a light amount of Season-all. Then sprinkle with a small amount of garlic salt and then some pepper.

Step 6.  Turn over with a spatula and re-spread the zucchini.  Try to not let it sit without flipping it for too long because it can burn quickly.

Serve warm.
