Steak - they just tell the kid its red chicken - the kid likes chicken

Its a big mind game (aka - calling brocolli - trees.)

How do you do the zucchini parm? Saute it? Fry it?



I fried it this time and the kid ate it like it was his new job. Chat Icon

I think I may try sauteeing it though next time. or at least poaching it in garlic and white wine, then baking it with maybe toasted breadcrumbs sprinkled between the tomato and cheese layer.

Of course! I just fm'd it to someone so I'll c&p from taht!

I usually take some garlic cloves and throw them in my mini prep with a good amount of dijon. I figure maybe 10 garlic and .5 cups of dijon. Sometimes I throw a dash of white vinegar for extra zing. Add some kosher salt, coarse pepper and a little fresh thyme or rosemary. Pulse to a thick paste. Cut slits in the loin and push the paste into the cuts. Spread the rest of the paste over the loin and then you roast it. I usually start it at a super high temp and then reduce it to a 325 after 15-20 minutes for the rest of the cooking.
