Here are some recipe's given to me by the share members this week. I LOVE hearing about what is made with all the food and how it's shared. This first recipe is Zucchini Apple PIe. I have had a slice of this pie, and I can verify that it really does taste like apple pie!!
Zucchini Apple Pie
Toss together:
4 cups of sliced zucchini, cooked until tender crisp (big zucchini's work too)
2 Tbsp lemon juice
dash of salt
Mix in a Bowl:
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
dash of nutmeg
3 Tbsp flour
Add the zucchini and mix well. It will be runny, but that's okay. Dump the filling into a 9-inch pie crust and dot with butter. Add the top crust and bake at 400 F, 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Next is Mila's Gazpacho. She made this just so she could have a tomato and cucumber free zone in her house, or at least until the next share pick up. I was told she quadrupled this recipe for her family.
Mila's Gazpacho
5 Tomatoes
1 Cucumber
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar ( I use rice vinegar, but other kinds will also work)
1 roasted bell pepper - red if possible
(Roast pepper on gas stove or grill until skin is all black. Place in zip lock bag and sweat for 5 minutes.
Remove backened skin by rubbing pepper in the bag. If a little skin is left on pepper, thats OK.
Remove stem and seeds.)
salt and pepper to tast
2 cloves of garlic
Puree everything in a blender. Serve chilled.
Top with croutons or toasted bread crumbs.
