Corona Pumpkin Farm

Zucchini…zucchini…zucchini!  If you have your own vegetable garden or live near someone who does, you probably find yourself with a lifetime supply of zucchini.  Unfortunately, the supply will spoil long before it is consumed.

What to do with it?  Sure, it makes great bread and an excellent door stop, but we’d like to share a recipe we discovered.  Farmer J loves fried zucchini from the local hamburger joints and Greek restaurants.  However, it never fries up as good at home.  Besides, Farmer J is overdue for a physical and would prefer not to hear the doctor complain about his diet.

Here is a recipe the entire family loves (the kids request it twice a week).  Vary the amount of chili-powder to increase/decrease the potency to your liking.
