Zucchini-Tomato Pie recipe – BigOven.com
1 Servings
Pie Uncategorized
1 10″ pie shell (deep dish is
1/3 c Dijon mustard
Mozzarella cheese; thinly
2 Zucchini; thinly sliced (up
4 Tomato; thinly sliced (up to
1/2 ts Chopped garlic
1/2 ts Oregano
Salt and pepper
2 tb Olive oil
2 tb Fresh basil; chopped
The following recipe is from a recipe that I saw in the NY Times Magazine a number of years ago. Its great for using up the zucchini and tomato crop. Preheat oven 400F. Spread mustard evenly over bottom of pie shell, then cover bottom completely with mozzarella.. (The original recipe called for a full pound of cheese, I find that its too much. Use however much you are in the mood for). Beginning at the outer edge of the shell, make a layered overlapping row of the tomato and zucchini slices, alternating for color. Make a second row, then use enough of the remaining slices to fill the center. Sprinkle the top evenly with garlic and oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle oil over all, and top with chopped basil (I use more than 2 tbls) Put on a baking sheet (line it with foil for easy clean up if you use a lot of cheese) and bake about 40 minutes. Note: serve warm or cold. Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest V97 #225 by “Judy Chavel-Hochsztein” and lt;jchavelh and at;notes.cc.bellcore.com and gt; on Aug 4, 1997

Taramosalata, 1 (Tarama Sauce, 1) recipe – BigOven.com
1 Servings
Greek
Appetizers Greek Olive oil Onion Parsley Roe Lemon
6 oz Tarama (cod roe)
8 sl White bread, trimmed
1 1/2 c Best olive oil (more if need
2 Lemons, juiced (or to taste)
1 Sm. onion, chopped fine
Parsley, chopped (opt.)
Chives, chopped (opt.)
Put the tarama in a mixer or blender. Wet the bread and thoroughly squeeze out the excess water; add to the tarama. Add a little oil, and beat until thoroughly blended. Add onions and continue to mix. Pour additional oil slowly into the tarama, beating constantly, to make a smooth, cream-colored paste. Add lemon juice, a little at a time, to taste. The consistency and taste of the taramosalata are a matter of individual preference. Some prefer it made with a little more bread; others like more lemon juice, some like less. No matter: the end result is always a tasty, rather thick, versatile diplike sauce. Serve it in a bowl, with crackers or crusty bread, onion slices, etc., to “go with.” Or garnish with parsley and olives for a festive platter. Or use as salad dressing. NOTE: Taramosalata in generally placed on the Greek table at the start of the meal and can be tasted at will throughout the meal. From Geminis MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
