Mini-zuchinni are just young zuchinni. Not familiar with a true dwarf variety. They are best when about 6"-8" long, although home-grown ones aren't tough even when they get 10" long. Here's a simple (albeit Southern) recipe: Cut zuchinni into 3" long spears (about 3/4" thick). Put into a pot with a can of stewed tomatoes and sliced onions. Add a little water, salt and pepper, and cook until tender. It won't take long to cook, less than 30 minutes.
