DISAPPEARING ZUCCHINI ORZO
I believe the "disappearing" part of the title refers largely to making the garden's over abundance of squash disappear. I know there will be those larger zucchinis that slip past my radar so I can't wait to try this one. The recipe is from the Kingsolver book 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle' and is typed here as written. I will come back and hard line some of the amounts and with any tweakings I may have done.

Steps:
- Sprinkle zucchini with salt in a colander and toss (this allows the zucchini to"sweat" out excess water); let stand for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice, then remove and gently squeeze liquid from zucchini.
- In a food processor whir together the basil leaves, oil, garlic, and oregano until well incorporated.
- Place mixture in a large bowl and stir together with the zucchini and set aside.
- In a large pot over high heat, bring the chicken broth to a boil; add orzo and reduce the heat to medium, cooking until orzo is just tender, about 10-12 minutes; drain the pasta well.
- Stir the pasta into the zucchini mixture, then add the lemon juice, grated cheese, and fresh parsley.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Chill for at least an hour before serving as a salad, or serve warm at room temperature as a dinner side dish.
- Makes about 8 servings.

- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and a big pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is beginning to soften.
- Add the shredded zucchini and the thyme and raise heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash releases its juices and they cook off. The zucchini will reduce in size by at least half and may begin to brown slightly.
- Turn off the heat and immediately add the drained orzo, lemon juice and zest, and cheese, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well but gently to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.

- Preheat oven to 425º F.Place diced zucchini into a large bowl. Drizzle with 1/2 TBSP of olive oil and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread the zucchini over a baking sheet. Bake until tender—about 8-10 minutes. Once the zucchini is done, remove it from the oven and set aside.
- Cook the orzo as per the directions on the package (no longer than al dente). When it's ready, drain the orzo and run it under cool water, tossing it lightly with your fingers to get that starchiness out. Give the orzo a good shake in the strainer to remove excess water, and transfer the orzo to a large serving bowl; set aside.
- Zest your lemons before juicing them, and transfer the zest to a blender. Add the lemon juice followed by all of the other ingredients for the dressing to the blender. Blend until all of the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and pureed into a dressing. Give it a taste test and season further if needed.
