Walking through the farmers market today, I spotted an unusual basket of goods. One of the local farms had brought a bushel of their oversized zucchini and were selling them for $.75 a pound. Most of the time at the farmers market, they bring moderately sized, nearly perfect veggies, so it was a treat to stumble over the kind of hefty zucchini that you typically only find in backyard gardens. The one I selected was just over three pounds. I brought it home and stuffed it according to my mom's recipe. It was delicious and took me straight back to childhood.

Yesterday afternoon, I was talking to my mom on the phone as she wandered around her vegetable garden. As we chatted, she discovered a hidden zucchini, tucked behind a pumpkin leaf, that had grown to the size of an adult cat. We quickly decided that this was a stuffer, not a steamer.

Since I live so far away from my parents, I won't be able to get a taste of that stuffed zucchini. However, I do have the next best thing, which is my mom's recipe for it, which she has fine-tuned over the years as a delicious and sure-fire way of utilizing giant zucchini. Full instructions, after the jump.
