One of the perks about people knowing you cook are the treats you receive...cookbooks, websites, new magazines and food. People who appreciate food are sharers by nature. We crave attention and we aim to please or at least, get a reaction.
Im sitting at work the other day when a friend (who is also a local chef) pops into the bar and drops off a perfect zucchini for me! To some, these random acts of kindness create a burden. They are required to use it before it goes bad and many dont even know how to prepare zucchini...but I had a few ideas up my sleeve and was also inspired by a recipe for frittatas that I found at my mom's house. This also helped narrow the focus for NB for the week, as I was still debating what to do.
I love this recipe because its fast and easy to make. It works great with a variety of veggies and is pretty healthy too!
Dish: Zucchini Frittatas
Film: Flash Gordon (1980)
-1 cup shredded zucchini
-1 small onion, chopped
-3 eggs, whisked together
-1 teaspoon oil
-1 teaspoon oregano
-1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
-1 tablespoon garlic, minced
-salt & pepper
Frittata beginning to end:
Directions:
Sautee garlic, onion and zucchini in iron skillet on med-high heat until onions are tender (approx 6-7 minutes). Sprinkle in oregano. Pour eggs over top of mixture and sprinkle on salt & pepper. Cook until eggs are almost set (2-3 minutes). Sprinkle Swiss cheese over top and place skillet in 350 degree oven for 4-5 minutes.
A word on the movie...I didn't know what to expect. I have never watched Flash Gordon before and when it started I was a little nervous...definately a cult classic. But I will say, its a pretty fun movie! There were parts that reminded me of He-man and She-ra, others that gave me flashes of 'The Princess Bride' but it was fun, funny and the soundtrack was done by Queen...how can you go wrong with all of those components?!?!?
Enjoy!
