Recipe Name Southeast Asian Coconut Zucchini Submitted by Brenna
Recipe Description An excellent way to use the endless crop of zucchini. The tumeric turns the zucchini a beatiful golden color, which looks particularly striking if served in a bright red bowl. This saucy dish is also nice served over rice, millet, or barley.
