Notes
Adapted from my Blue Galaxy Bowl
To steam zucchini, slice into thick 1″ rounds and place in boiling water (or in a steamer basket) on the stovetop and cook for 3-4 minutes, until fork tender. Drain the zucchini, allow to cool, then place the rounds in a ziplock bag and freeze overnight before adding to this recipe. To prevent zucchini rounds from sticking together in the bag, allow them to dry completely before freezing. (I often skip this step out of laziness and I find it’s not so awful breaking them apart out of the freezer!)
