When zucchini/squash gets too large it gets tough and loses flavor. These vegetables are harvested before they get too large and it is not unusual to find about the same size zucchini/squash in the produce section of the store. For the sake of this recipe I would assume this is the size they are referring to. I would also probably use both zucchini and yellow squash for the recipe.
Right you are! We are not proposing that you use the giant zucchini that sometimes come out of the garden. The large squash you find in the produce section that are about 8 inches long will suffice.
Is there a way to combine this recipe with cornbread so you would have zucchini sausage cornbread squares?
Oh yum! We bet you could make your favorite cornbread recipe and add some shredded zucchini (perhaps 1/2 cup) and some cooked sausages (perhaps cook some links and then slice them into pieces) and it would be delicious. Experiment and let us know how it goes!
Great suggestion. I'll get back to you when I try it. Thanks loads.
