Your New Favorite Zucchini Recipe {Thin, Crisp, Irresistible π―)
|
Good Morning, Friends. A few weeks ago, after I shared here that I had made zucchini Scarpaccia and was dissatisfied with its texture, my friend Caroline texted me: "I'm obsessed with Scarpaccia. Such a good use of all the zucchini. I make a double batch every weekend and snack on it all week. One of my favorite summer recipes." She sent me a photo... ... and a link to the recipe she uses, noting her changes: she omits the breadcrumbs, uses a sheetpan (as opposed to a 9x13), and bakes it for twice as long. It sounded promising, so I gave it a go and was so, so happy with the result: it emerged from the oven crisp at the edges but soft and creamy inside. I have since made it multiple times, and every time, I have had a hard time refraining from eating the entire pan alone. Friends, if I know anything, it's that you're going to love this one. Please let me know when you polish off 2 pounds of zucchini. Alone. In one sitting. Never will I be so proud.

Oh Friends, where to begin? On Monday, we dropped our oldest, Ella, off at boarding school. Even though I knew I would be picking her up two days later for a hockey tournament, those two days felt interminable. For the past 6 months, as the prospect of her leaving became more real, I've often found myself thinking, "It's going to be great!" And I truly believe this. But I bumped into a friend at our little co-op on Tuesday, and she asked me how I was, and I said: "Great! Everything is great."...
Friends, good morning. Earlier this week, needing to put one lone, large eggplant to use, I "oven-fried" it, using a favorite old recipe from America's Test Kitchen. The beauty of the recipe is that the breaded eggplant rounds bake on a preheated baking sheet with a very small amount of oil β there is no standing at the stovetop, frying batch after batch. The oven-fried eggplant rounds ultimately get smothered in sauce and cheese if you make ATK's full recipe for eggplant parmesan, which I...
The above site means one and only one thing: It's ratatouille time! There are many ways to make excellent ratatouille, but I think roasting it is the least fussy (and best) way to do it. The recipe I use calls for roasting with both olive oil and balsamic vinegar, which gives the finished ratatouille a subtle bite, a flavor that evokes eggplant caponata, though the sharpness is more mellow. It is irresistible. Letβs review: Gather all of your ratatouille vegetables: tomatoes, eggplant,...
