To peel and chop the zucchini into small pieces, you can follow these steps: 1. Cut the ends off so you have a flat surface on each side. Then peel the skin with a vegetable peeler* starting at one end in a downward motion to the other side. Rotate and repeat as needed until all the skin is removed. 2. Place the zucchini on the cutting board and slice lengthwise so you have two halves. 3. Then take one of the halves and lay it flat on the cutting board. Place your hand on the zucchini being sure to keep your fingers and thumb under your knuckles. Then cut the zucchini lengthwise gain so you have two pieces. Repeat until you have four pieces of zucchini strips. 4. Take one strip and then cut them crosswise so you have small cubes about an inch long. Release until all the zucchini is cut into small bite-size pieces.  5. Repeat these steps with the remaining zucchini if needed. Once all the zucchini is chopped set it aside.
