ok I'm putting this here because it just sounds awesome and I found it (also I'm drunk now )
Aida's Scalloped Zucchini
Recipe courtesy Aida Mollenkamp, 2009
*Cook Time 10 min
* Yield 4 to 6 servings
| Quote: | Ingredients
* Olive oil
* 2 pounds zucchini, ends trimmed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick coins
* Salt
* 4 (12 by 18-inch) pieces aluminum foil
* 2 cups shredded aged Cheddar
* 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
* 4 teaspoons minced garlic (from about 4 medium cloves)
* Freshly ground black pepper
* 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
* 16 thyme sprigs
Directions
Heat grill to 350 degrees F (medium heat) and oil well.
Place zucchini in a sieve set over a bowl, salt well, toss to coat, and set aside to let drain, at least 5 minutes.
When ready to cook, oil 1 piece of aluminum foil on 1 side. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese in the middle of the foil to form a rectangle, shingle 1/4 of the zucchini over cheese (about 3 rows of 8 zucchini coins). Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shallots and 1 teaspoon of garlic evenly over top, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Top with another 1/4 cup cheese, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, and top with 4 sprigs of thyme. Enclose foil tightly to form a packet and repeat to make 4 packets.
Place the packets on the grill and cook until zucchini is soft and cooked through, turning once, about 10 minutes total. |

Grilled Roast Chicken (courtesy smeat)
Servings: 5 Servings
Total Time (median): 2 : 00 Active Time: 0 : 45
| Quote: | Ingredients
* 1 ea Large Whole Fryer
-- Rub Ingredients--
* 5 tablespoon Brown sugar
* 5 tablespoon Paprika
* 2 tablespoon Seasoned salt
* 2 tablespoon Chili powder
* 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
* 1 tablespoon Cumin
* 1 teaspoon Pepper
* 1 teaspoon Red pepper
Instructions
Wash Chicken inside and out. Mix all the rub ingredients well. Place 2 tablespoons of rub inside bird and shake to distribute rub. Rub the outside with more of the seasoning. Let stand 1 hour. Place charcoal on sides of grill and a drip pan made of foil down the middle. When coals are hot place chicken in middle of grill. Cover and leave for 1 hour and 15 min. Try not to open grill often becasue this lets the heat out and increases the cook time . Open vents on grill to maximum for highest heat. Test chicken in the middle of breast. I like to take the chicken off the grill when it reaches 175 and cover with foil for 15 min. The chicken will continue to cook and will reach 185 which is considered done during the rest time. This prevents the breast meat from drying out. |

oh yeah - for apple cake. can't remember what thread it was in, but fortunately i have access to the original:
Apple Cake
3 cups tart apples, diced
½ cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ cup sugar
3 Tbs butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Cut apples into small chunks, leaving the skins on. Chop walnuts. Mix the flour, soda and spices. Cream sugar and butter. Add egg and vanilla. Then blend in the flour mixture. Add the apples and walnuts. (Dough will be stiff.) Spread mixture in an ungreased 9” x 9” pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Serves 9.
This recipe can be used as a dessert or as a breakfast bread. It’s more nourishing than most coffee cakes. Great for morning meeting refreshments.

like i said elsewhere - when you mix this up, it will seem like there isn't enough batter to make a cake, it looks like chopped apples with just a little smear of batter around. just get the batter more or less evenly distributed, and you will be amazed at how much cake you have when it comes out of the oven. _________________ aka: neverscared! |

I made the shooter's sandwich that seems to be gaining a cult following on the webz. Quite good and fun to make.

Shakshuka. It is delicious, easy, quick (well, as long as you have a rice cooker or buy pitas), and we make it all the time.

Doesn't that look amazing? We are having it again tonight. We make it with rice because I learned in Mexico that rice + egg is DAMN tasty.

there seems to be a family of eggs-poached-in-sauteed vegetables recipe (shakshuka looks to be descended from a recipe in claudia roden's book of jewish food, possible cross-pollinated with a similar recipe in the same book that uses peppers instead of tomatoes - which would make sense, since shakshuka is an israeli dish). it is also quite similar to huevos rancheros (which makes it interesting that you discovered shakshuka rather than huevos rancheros in mexico).
still, doesn't hurt to be reminded how tasty all the members of the family are (and i like the touch of adding feta). _________________ aka: neverscared! |
