Zucchini and Ricotta Tart

RachaelRay August 2010

6 Servings

Prep 35 min

Bake 1 hr 10 min

Ingredients:

4 zucchini (about 2 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced crosswise

Salt and pepper

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

3 eggs, beaten

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling

1/2 cup half-and-half

1 pinch nutmeg

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350Ã¯Â¿Â½. Layer the zucchini in a colander, sprinkling each layer with salt; let stand for 20 minutes. Rinse, then pat dry.

Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to remove the creases. Press the pastry into a 9-inch pie plate and trim the excess, so the crust is flush with the rim. Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork. Refrigerate.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.

Add the zucchini and cook, turning, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the dill and remove from the heat; let cool to room temperature.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta, 1/2 cup parmesan and the half-and-half; season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg. Stir in the zucchini. Pour the mixture into the chilled pastry crust and sprinkle with more parmesan.

Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing.

The picture of this looks delicious and certainly easy!
Even though it's 30 degrees, hot and humid today, I'm posting a roast chicken recipe.

It could be done in a pan on the barbecue, come to think of it. Saves heating up the kitchen. Wish I had a barbecue! :)

Lemon Garlic Chicken

1 package of chicken thighs & drumsticks (4 thighs & 4 drumsticks)
3 lemons
15 cloves of garlic, peeled
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a bowl, add the chicken pieces. Slice the lemons in half and juice them. Add the juice and the lemon rinds to the bowl, along with the garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well with your hands, then dump this all in a large baking dish.

Bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes, basting every 10 minutes. When the skin gets crispy and the meat is cooked through, it is done.

Let pecans cool, then chop. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl for about a minute. Add the brown sugar and heat for another 30 -60 seconds; stir well.

Have posted this before but it is really good! Grits and greens 3 cups milk 1 cup water **I used chicken broth and did not use the bouillon cube as well 1 chicken bouillon cube 1 cup "quick" grits 1 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese **Used Kraft pregrated 3 cheese italian 1 lb. greens (mustard, turnip, collard, spinach, chard, or any combo of these) or equivalent amount of frozen or canned greens ***Used one can of Glory turnip greens 1 Tbsp. bacon drippings (or oil or butter) **didn't need cause I used the canned greens several slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled **Used 4 thick sliced, cut into cubes, and fried. Put half in the grits and half on the top of casserole salt and pepper to taste Directions: In large heavy saucepan or pot heat the milk, water and bouillon cube to just below a boil. Slowly whisk in grits and cook for 5-10 minutes or until thickened, stirring often to prevent scorching. When grits are thickened, stir in 1 and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and allow to melt (reserve 1/4 cup for top). Remove from heat. Meanwhile, wash greens and heat bacon drippings in large skillet over high heat. Put greens in skillet while still a little wet from washing. Cook until thoroughly wilted, then drain. If using frozen greens, just heat and drain well; if canned, just drain well. Chop greens up very fine. Stir into grits mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour into casserole dish (I use 2 pie pans and freeze one of these for later). Top with crumbled bacon and remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F until bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. You want it to still be a little bit loose. It will thicken as it stands. Use broiler to brown top. This freezes well. Just thaw beforehand and cook as above, adding another 10-15 minutes

This is definitely a recipe to use for company. Otherwise, way too much $$$ and way too much food. I would definitely add the broccoli, but we love it. SEAFOOD LASAGNA (Delicious Delicacies) NEED A LASAGNE PAN FOR THIS (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles 2 (16 ounce) jars Alfredo-style pasta sauce (or you can home make it) 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 pound imitation crabmeat, chopped (best to use the real stuff) 1 pound bay scallops (optional) 20 ounces ricotta cheese 1 egg black pepper 6 cups shredded Italian cheese blend Broccoli (optional) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. If you don't have the precooked oven noodles you can cook them for 8-10 minutes then use them. If you already have the precooked oven noodles you can just pop them into your container where you'll be making this and you can layer it all out already. First combine the ricotta cheese, egg and black pepper. Put a layer of noodles first then spread a layer of ricotta cheese, followed by some of the shrimp, scallops and crab (any other type of seafood you wish to have as well). Then part of the broccoli, if using, followed by some Alfredo sauce to cover up the seafood then a layer of cheese. Follow these steps until ingredients are used making sure that the Italian cheese is the last thing you do. Bake the lasagna for 45 minutes uncovered and then for another 15 covered.
