There is a bond of fellowship between all cooks – similar to the bond of fraternalism. We are proud of our Membership and how we connect, share, and make a difference in our communities.
Here are some of the treasured recipes of Royal Neighbors Supreme Officers and other Members from 1960 or earlier.
Savory Zucchini
Ingredients
3 slices of bacon, diced
1 cup thinly sliced sweet onions
3 young zucchini, sliced
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
8 oz. can of tomato sauce
Instructions
Wash the zucchini, but do not peel. Slice ¼ inch thick and set aside. Fry out the diced bacon, add the sliced onions, and cook slowly to light brown. Add the sliced zucchini and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the tomato sauce over the top and mix thoroughly. Cover the mixture and cook over low flame/heat until the zucchini is tender and the tomato sauce is well absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
