MeMa Rie’s Zippy Zucchini

I went to a potluck when this dish was brought. A luscious blueberry and sour cream layer is placed on top of a dense cake layer. I love this dessert! Enjoy the dish with whipped cream!

I left out the cayenne and vinegar and just added salt and pepper and it was great. Simple, no need to cover up the taste of the zucchini and onion.

Disregard this review as I did not try this recipe but did not see an option to delete the entire review.

MemaRie’s Zippy Zucchini Haiku: “Why yes, it’s zippy! Zippy taste, zippy to make. Far from tasting ‘zzzzzz.'” Followed the recipe exactly as written, served w/ grilled steelhead trout and basmati rice – I like the cider vinegar and cayenne pepper additions. A fun, and zippedeedodaa way to change up my normal steamed w/ butter ‘zukes.

This was good. I used just a very light sprinkling of cayenne but I liked it.
Justin Dunn
This was good! I left out the cayenne (for my mom) but changed nothing else (though I did just eyeball amounts). I will be making it again!

the vinegar gives this a funny taste. Would have been better had it been left out.
Matthew White
I thought this recipe was okay, but nothing special. I found the vinegar taste a little out of place and though I ususally love the kick of cayenne, it didn’t work for me in this dish. I prefer to saute the onions, garlic, and zucchini in butter, then simply season with salt.

I have used apple cider vinegar in other vegetable recipes but for this one, it just did not taste good. Thanks anyway.

This recipe calls for 1/4 cup olive oil, divided; it never tells what to do with the other 2 tablespoons. It was good, though!!

Very good. I added some fresh mushrooms and seasoned the dish with fresh thyme. I didn’t use strict measurements so probably ended up using a little more vinegar than the recipe stated.

My neighbor brought me over 3 small zucchini so I searched the data banks and came up with this one. Easy and flavorfull. I thought it was great.
Matthew Martinez
With such good reviews, I was surprised at how much I disliked this. The vinegar gave the zucchini a sharpness that was most unpleasant.
Patricia Houston
Very simple and tasty – might leave out the cayanne pepper next time – not a big fan of spicy.
Ian Johnson
everyone likes it, very easy. love the spicy side dish instead of boring veggies.
Kevin Thomas
very tastey, my new favorite way to have zucchini.
Casey Bryan
This recipe was awesome! Both my husband and I really enjoyed it. I did end up adding another teaspoon of the vinegar and seasoning with salt at the end. YUM!!!!
