My mother planted an interesting variety of zucchini for testing - "Ball". Such a miracle has grown.
True, it was pollinated by neighboring zucchini and took on their color.)) On a pack with seeds, the color is different.
In addition to the original round shape, it also has a different taste, different from the usual zucchini - freshness and cucumbers.) It's a pity to cut them just like that, I had to come up with something unusual. In the end, it turned out very tasty. Of course, I didn't master the whole ball (only half), but my husband ate it all and praised it a lot. If this variety is not available, you can use regular zucchini by cutting it lengthwise. The dish is good both warm and cold.

Haha, the same!
I should also try to bake this "ball". Mistletoe, thanks for the idea!

Mannochka, you probably bought seeds in one place.)) The saleswoman praised so much, so praised this variety. Indeed, tastier than ordinary zucchini. Next year I will plant a couple more bushes.

I'm ashamed to admit, but I have not tried them yet. Cut off, and lie. Somehow I didn't know what to think of with them. My usual zucchini all went into business. You say tastier? Then be sure to bake them. I took them off with little ones ... I should probably get into AF

In general, if small, it is better to eat raw. There are more vitamins. I am always the first in the salad. For example.

Summer salad with young zucchini (Omela)

Or together with the seeds in a green cocktail.

So the fact of the matter is that it was a pity to cut the round. I cut the usual long ones raw. Yes, and so she gnawed. And these balls are lying, waiting in the wings, their skin is even coarse. I will bake.
