what is this zucchini concoction?
 

Today I grated 3 smallish zucchini and 1 carrot. I combined them with 2
eggs, 6 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 1 Tablespoon of dried Italian
herbs, a teaspoon of brown mustard, and a garlic clove put through a
press. I put that in a buttered dish, sprinkled the top with grated
mitacapra cheese and now have it in the oven baking at 350 degrees.


My question is, what did I make? A crustless quiche? A frittata? A
casserole?

Sounds tasty. Of the 3 choices, I'd go for the crustless quiche...except
there was no cream. Hmmm. Guess you should have added a 4th choice!

I'm eating it now. It is tasty, but I didn't soak the feta in fresh
water like I usually do. It's a tad too salty, even for me, and I like
salt. What would the 4th choice be? I want a name for this thing.

How's it taste? No offense, but it sounds awful. I make a zucchini and
carrot thing with just butter and dillweed, then nuke. The feta isn't
doing a thing for any anticipation. JMO. :-/

Maybe a frittata-like casserole. HTH.

Zucchini Goop Melange. (Sorry, I've been hoarding that name since I
heard it on TV a few years ago, minus the zucchini.)

Oh yeah, me too. And it certainly was the feta (and maybe the mustard)
that put me off - and Ida Know what's mitacapra cheese,

I don't know what it is about my mood tonight, but I read this and got
the worst case of the giggles. No, I'm not offended. I'm grateful when
people say what they think.


It tasted awful, but not for the reason you think. I've said before
that I like salt and Jim doesn't. Therefore, when Jim is out of town as
he is now, I take it as my opportunity to cook with salt. I went
overboard. First, when I grated the zucchini, I salted it as I always
do so I can squeeze out excess moisture. I usually rinse it then. This
time I didn't. Then I didn't soak the feta in fresh water to take out
some of the salt from it. The recipe started as one for fried zucchini
fritters which I've made often with those flavorings (garlic, mustard,
Italian herbs) so I was on the right track, but it came out of the oven
inedibly salty. The mitacapra cheese was the final blow. I'd forgotten
how salty it is.


I bring to mind my father's famous words "why pay twice?" Having gone
to the trouble of cooking for myself (hard when Jim's gone; I usually
end up eating out or not eating), I decided not to choke down the small
portion. I threw it out.


The question on what to call it came when it was still in the oven.
It's not as necessary now. I like the idea of tian and gratin and will
experiment further in that direction.

Well the 4th choice would be whatever you want it to be. After all, it's
your creation:)

Whenever I see a recipe that includes zucchini, I mentally substitute small
yellow summer squash or small yellow crookneck squash. I just can't get my
tastebuds around zucchini.

Agreed, for me it's the brown mustard that really turned me off.

If you have space to grow anything, try Golden Zucchini. It's a hybrid
that combines smooth yellow skin with much smaller seed cavity and
smaller seeds typical of the green version. Very nice.
