In our family we look forward to the 'day after' to enjoy mashed zucchini insides sauteed in olive oil with some chopped onion, salt/pepper. When wilted Mom used to break two (or more) eggs over the mixture, prick the yolks with a fork, and cook just till the whites are set. We always swoon. Why we don't just make this with whole zukes to start with, I don't know. It's always a special treat this way I guess.

I have a few sugg...This recipe is close to perfect. I have a few suggestions, too! (This is my favorite dish, I'm from Adana):) <BR/><BR/>1. Dried eggplants are really better for this dish. You can buy them in the US in Arab food stores or order online from Turkish food websites. And you don't need to carve them, they're so practical:) <BR/><BR/>2. You can also cook the same dish with dried paprikas and grape vine leaves (which is insanely delicious).<BR/><BR/>3. We also add some chickpeas to this dish (it's optional), but I replace the meat with chickpeas since I'm vegetarian.<BR/><BR/>4. You can use canned (crushed) tomatoes, it turns out just as good as long as you use a brand with no citric acid and no additives.<BR/><BR/>5. You can add more tomato. I don't use any water for this dish. Instead, I use tons of juicy tomato and simmer it long. It's a little risky, if you are not sure how much tomato you need to use, it can take some trial-and-error.<BR/><BR/>6. Don't keep cooking after adding the sauce. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes and absorb the sauce. You don't want the garlic to cook:)<BR/><BR/>7. With the insides of the zucchini and eggplants: You can fry them with some olive oil and mix them with yogurt and garlic sauce. Add some fresh dill and walnuts to this dish and eat it after it cools down. Alternatively, pour a tomato sauce over it after frying. Tomato sauce: cook tomatoes and fresh parsley in a sauce pan, add olive oil, salt, garlic to taste. Zuchhini is a very juicy vegetable, drain its juice before you fry it (add some salt on it and squeeze the juice out after 10 minutes).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-90020023052815662092008-07-03T10:58:00.000-07:002008-07-03T10:58:00.000-07:00Hi Hilly,Boiling dried zucchinis and eggplants for...Hi Hilly,<BR/>Boiling dried zucchinis and eggplants for ~5 minutes or until they're soft but not mushy would do.
