This savoury Onion Zucchini bread is a must make recipe every summer.
Full of beautiful onions and zucchini topped with spectacular Parmigiano Reggiano.
I have been playing with zucchini in the kitchen for as long as I have been gardening, about 20 years now. It is one of those garden staples that I always grow. They have been battered, fried, sauted, shredded and even pickled, which is amazing by the way!
