Zucchini Gratin

It is Ina Time, which means the group from Ina's Garden are posting zucchini recipes.  Zucchini has never tasted so good.  Peggy from Pantry Revisited chose zucchini gratin for our next Ina recipe .  You can find the recipe here. 

Please feel free to post any zucchini recipe from Ina.  A few recipes are listed at Ina's Garden found here.  You can get information about the group there.  You will find linkys at each of the host's blog as well as one at Ina's Garden.

 The next two themes are:
 July 21st - Sweet Baked Love
August 4th - Appetizing Appetizers and Snacks featuring Rosemary Roasted Cashews

I went along with Peggy on the zucchini gratin.  Peggy is posting the recipe.  You can also find it at Food Network as mentioned above.

I made this,  two weeks ago and I don't remember too much about the process.  I will post the ingredients and show you the changes I made.  I, sometimes wonder if there is a recipe, I will completely work with.  Although, bringing our creativity to a recipe makes it more personal and for me, I feel as if it  is a gift to my hubby.
  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for topping - (used about 2 tablespoons)
  • 3 large yellow onions, cut in 1/2 and sliced
  • 4 zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (instead of 2 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup hot Rice milk (instead of milk)
  • 3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs  potato chips ground
  • 3/4 cup grated Gruyere gouda
I made this gluten-free.  I love gouda and have been using it in place of different cheese, in some of my cooking.

While, I do not remember much of the preparation for this dish, I do remember how both hubby and I enjoyed eating it.  I think, it is time to make this, again.  It is easy to make and I could see making this a regular dish.

    Ooh, I'll have to remember the potato chip substitution the next time I'm out of bread crumbs!

    I love the idea of using potato chips in the topping - it would make it taste so good! I also like the idea of using gouda too - I found the gruyere a bit strong. You've made some great adjustments to this recipe - I'm looking forward to making it again!

    believe it or not, this is the exact same dish I have planned to make tonight with all the zucchinis from my garden- it has certainly been the star veggie of my veggie patch along with close runner-ups, tomatoes, patty pans and now chilies :) May not make the deadline for linking, but I will try! cheers, priya

    Your recipe looks really delicious. I am always turning things gluten free as well. I have a Celiac daughter.
    I would love it if you would join in on my blog party with your recipe at Permanent Posies. The party name is Tuesday's Tasty Tidbits. I think you might have joined in before. Anyway, here is the link: http://permanentposies.com/2011/07/atomic-chicken/

    Your gratin looks fabulous! I'd forgotten that it was a wee bit on the salty side, so your tweak of the amount was perfect.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
