If you are wondering what to do with all of your zucchinis and you’re not a fan of zucchini bread, make my Zucchini Moussaka instead (that rhymed)
Zucchini Moussaka
Ingredients: 6 medium size zucchini, 1 lb ground beef, 1 yellow onion, 1/3 cup of rice, 1/3 cup sour cream, 2 egg yolks, 2 eggs, 1 cup flour, 2 cups of milk (possibly more), 1 teaspoon salt. Pepper to taste.
Step 1: Slice zucchini into thin slices
Step 2: Put two eggs into a bowl and 1 cup of flour into another bowl. Dip each slice of zucchini in the egg, then roll in flour.
Step 3: Heat ½ cup of oil in a frying pan. Fry each slice of zucchini until brown and soft.
Step 4: Once all of the zucchini has been fried. Wipe pan clean and sauté onion until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add ground beef. Cook until brown.
Step 5: In a small bowl, mix together 2 egg yolks with 1/3 cup sour cream. Add 2 cups of milk and stir. Add salt (1 teaspoon) Set aside.
Step 6: In a 9x13 pan, put down one layer of zucchini, then add ground beef and a little of the rice. Place another layer of zucchini on top, add beef and rice. Ending with a layer of zucchini on top. Pour egg/sour cream/milk mixture over the top of everything. It should just cover everything. You may need to add a little more milk if needed to make sure the zucchini is covered with the milk mixture.
Step 7: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for one hour and fifteen minutes. Just make sure the rice is done.
Sounds delicious! But seriously did Lily eat it? My boys would run screaming, including my husband. Why oh why don't the men in my life love zucchini as I do???
