Zucchini is fried then baked with an herbed tomato sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 4 to 5 medium zucchini, about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Butter an 8-inch square baking dish. Scrub zucchini and cut into 1/4-inch slices. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon basil, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Toss zucchini slices with the seasoned flour, coating slices thoroughly. Heat oil over medium low heat in a large skillet. Sauté zucchini slices in batches until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Drain well and repeat until all zucchini is browned. In a bowl, combine sour cream, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon basil, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place zucchini slices in baking dish. Top zucchini with tomato slices; spread sour cream mixture over tomatoes, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until zucchini is tender. Serves 6.

Too much troubleJuly 23, 2008By ginniesmith1234
"My husband liked it. If you have alot of time it is worth giving it a shot. The outcome is ""ok"". personally I have done zucchini much tastier with alot less trouble. I had the time today, hoping for a flavor able dish, but maybe not so much. Maybe my pallet is more discerning."
