Stuffed Zucchini with spiced beef or lamb from Zaitoun

When it is zucchini time, it can be difficult to find something interesting. But this was both different and a total delight! Zucchini are scraped out and roasted. The "meat" from within the zucchini... read more >

The Enchanted Broccoli Forest...and Other Timeless Delicacies

By Mollie Katzen
Ten Speed Press - 1982

These delicious blintzes should have received a 4.5, they are that good.
As per Mollie Katzen's suggestion, I prepared the batter in the blender - easy! I do not own a crepe pan, but dug out my 12-inch nonstick frying pan. It did a very respectable job of cooking these - golden brown on the down side, and fully cooked on the top.

This cookbook suggests several fillings. We used a jar of sliced peaches we put up from home-grown peaches last august. To mellow the peach's sweetness, I added about 2 T yogurt per blintz. An important tip: warm up the yogurt, there isn't enough substance in these thin pancakes to heat the yogurt on their own.

We'll definitely make these again - no more work than a pancake and much more WOW.

I've had this cookbook for more than 15 years, and always wanted to prepare this.

I thought that this dish was delicious. The rice/egg mixture on the bottom has a surprising spice mix - dill, mint, and cayenne. This gave a good zip to the base, and I would have been hard pressed to guess the spices.

The top - broccoli standing up - were so cute. You sprinkle lemon juice and butter over the broccoli before baking - that really added a wonderful touch. The lemon flavor was the first thing my son commented on. Between the lemony broccoli and the slightly spicy and cheesy rice, it was very satisfying.

One note: this calls for a 6 inch by 10 inch pyrex pan. Luckily, I had a vintage pan that was exactly that size, but you could easily substitute something else.
