My latest obsession? Salad rolls. Once I got the hang of the weird rice wrappers, it was pretty simple to make these. Extra bonus – they make great compact lunches and last a couple days in the fridge depending on what veggies you put in them. These have 2 wrappers per roll filled with rice noodles, zucchini, red onion, carrot strips, squash, cooked tofu & red leaf lettuce. There’s a ton of recipes for peanut sauce. I basically just scooped some peanut butter in a bowl, added a couple tablespoons of warmish water, a splash of tamari sauce, a tsp of rice vinegar & sri racha to taste.
Ingredients:
- 1 large zucchini (or 3 small ones), chopped
- 1 large summer squash (or 2 small ones), chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 4 cups veggie broth
- 1/2 tbsp oregano
- 1/2 tbsp thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1/3 cup Nutritional Yeast
- 1/4 almond milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large pot, saute chopped onions in olive oil until almost translucent (about 5 min). Add summer squash and zucchini pieces, and a splash of water if needed. Saute for 3 minutes. Add veggie broth, oregano, thyme and rosemary. Boil on medium-high for 7 minutes.
Transfer to food processor or blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Soup is now ready to serve!
Boil for 7 minutes.
Puree until smooth (about 3-5 minutes)
Zuch & yellow squash soup: delicious and hearty summer soup.
If you have zucchini growing in your garden, you’re probably like me – being overrun with massive amounts of beautiful amazing zucchini. Zucchini is probably on my list of Top 5 favorite veggies. Mainly because you can pretty much do anything with it. Grill it, saute it, marinate it, freeze, shred, add to salad – or add to your pet’s dinner! Puree it, serve it cold, heat it up, roast it and dip it. Bread it in batter or add it to some brownies. Seriously, the list is endless. In my opinion, zucchini is pretty much a wonder veg.
This month – I’ll be posting as many zucchini influenced recipes as possible.
If you don’t like zucchini, I hope I inspire you to give it another go, and if you love zucchini, I welcome your recipe ideas too!
