Saw this fun sign at the store:
Cute little thing, isn’t it?
Turns out the 8-ball squash is a variety of zucchini. I keep getting fooled by that LOL! The shape just said “Grill me!”. So I sliced it up, brushed with oil and S&P and put it on the grill.
Came out nice. The larger diameter kept the pieces from falling through the grill.
It looked like a zucchini inside, but not quite as watery and more firm. It had a delicate, almost buttery flavor and I loved the grill. Not sure if I will get this again, as it is more expensive that regular zucchini, but fun to try. And it was from a local farm!
That is the cutest thing. It reminds me of a gourd by its shape!
I love finding new things at the farmer’s market. This week I didn’t buy anything new, but I did buy 3 gigantic watermelon. (You know I have a family of nine)
I have gotten the round zucchini several times this year – we really enjoy them! If you come across the smaller ones, they are fun to hollow out and stuff. I used a veggie rice and salmon mixture in mine, and once just the veggie rice, and they were so good!
I read about that somewhere else this weekend too. I agree with you, it was begging to be fried.
That is darn cute and I love the name! I like the idea of grilling it – much easier to control than zucchini!
Lol. I actually thought it was grilled zucchini when you showed the pic of your dinner yesterday. It is cute. Makes me want to pull out my zucchini and grill some for lunch, maybe sprinkled with a little parmesan too. Yum!
Oooh, that sounds right up my alley! I’ve been on a huge zucchini kick lately. Good call on grilling it. Everything tastes divine on the grill!
