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 >

Bubby's Brunch Cookbook: Recipes and Menus from New York's Favorite Comfort Food Restaurant

By Ron Silver, Rosemary Black
Ballantine Books - 2009

Excellent hash! I prepared this with home-corned brisket, which undoubtedly added to the wonderful flavor. I prepared this for my cooking club, it was broadly appreciated.

This recipe convinced my husband that he actually liked corned beef. Though it takes a week to prepare, most of the time is hands off. The meat is brined in a salt water + spice mixture. I used a 1 gallon zip lock bag instead of the 2 or 3 bags suggested by the cook book author.

Note that the recipe for the spice mixture yields much less than needed, while the recipe for the brine will give you twice what you need. Also the spice mix was too strong on the cloves.

Nevertheless, I made up more spice mixture, and caught the error on the salt water early.

I also deviated in the precise cooking instructions. Instead I followed this set of instructions for cooking. Basically I used my slow cooker - 1.5h on high (to get it up to temperature quickly) then "stay warm" for about 12 hours.

I wouldn't hesitate to prepare this again.

This brunch dish would be good any time of day. It was fresh and light, and well flavored without being overly heavy.

This incredibly rich dish was so delicious, but so dangerously filled with fat that I don't think I would eat it a second time. A breakfast dish for 6 - 8, calling for 12 oz bacon, 4T butter, 6 eggs, 3 1/2C cream, and 3C cheese. And you even save some bacon fat to drizzle on after it cooks. But boy-oh-boy did this taste amazing!
