July 31st: Zucchini Boats and Vegetable Skewers

Vacation Day 10. Tonight for supper I made, from July 2011's Chatelaine (and apparently a repeat from 2006; I didn't catch this!): Curry Salmon with Zucchini Boats: salmon fillets rubbed with curry paste and barbecued, accompanied by hollowed out and barbecued zucchinis filled with a mixture of plain yogurt and green onion and topped with a sprinkle of cilantro. The salmon was fine but I won't bother to keep the recipe. The zucchini was good though, and even G&O, non-zucchini fans, enjoyed it. If you're looking to use up those plants growing like weeds in your garden, here's one quick and easy way...

Some with cilantro, some without.
We all know why!

To accompany the salmon and zukes, I made, from July 2009's Vegetarian Times: barbecued vegetable skewers, loaded with potatoes, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, more zucchini, onion and pepper. This recipe is tasty but has a number of issues: the vinaigrette recipe makes double what you actually need. The cook times are far short of what is required to cook the vegetables. The taste, though, is quite good and I'll be making them again.
