Nom Nom Nom
Mar. 1st, 2008 09:20 pmBeen a while since I made a food post, so here's the solution to my refrigerator fullness.
You see, it turned out that there were nice looking squash at the Asian market, and that there was a good coupon for plain yoghurt at Meijer. So I found myself in possession of several squash (zucchini and a green Asian one with stripes that I don't know the name of), and more than a pint of leftover tzatiki sauce, as well as plenty of other yoghurt. Middle Eastern food! I thought.
Turns out there's not much Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food using squash. Lots of eggplant (which some people seem convinced is a squash (it's not - it's a nightshade, like peppers and tomatoes)) but little zucchini. That which does exist is usually in company with lamb, which I don't eat. So, I engineered a vegetarian (not vegan, but could be easily) version of a few stuffed zucchini recipes.
