Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Here is a by the seat of your pants recipe some of the extra large zucchini crop went into this year. It is a kind of thing that invites adjusting as you see fit and is easy to do. Use a 9 x 9 brownie pan which is about 2 inches deep. Cut zucchini into slices about 1/4 inch thik. Enough to cover the entire pan. Put one 6 oz can of tomato paste on the zucchini in a layer. Mix a small amount of liquid, wine in this case to make it just thin enough to spread. Put italian seasoning and garlic in when mixing the paste. On top put another layer of grated cheese, in this case a mix of a cheddar type and provolone half each. Put another layer of made from soy fake hamburger on top of everything. Repeat this series of layers of the same items and sprinkle some parmesan on the top. The pan will be full. As said, this begs modification as would suit each taste. It is a delicious next day warm up in the microwave. Bake at 350 for an hour covered, then half an hour uncovered. The zucchini has water in it and will thin the paste also, cook longer uncovered to remove excess liquid if needed. Six good servings. Slice down the middle, then each of that into 3 equal parts. Goes well with many kinds of veggies and/or salad for a complete meal. The carbs are mostly from the tomato paste and the total is about 62 g of carbs and 22 g of carbs as fiber in that from both cans. This puts each serving at just over 10 g of total carbs from the paste. As always when trying a new food, test post meal to see what glucose level is produced and adjust or toss this item as it indicates.
