(Text in English is below. Tarifin Türkçe versiyonu için burayi tiklayin)

Normally Ali Nazik kebab is made with eggplant puree; but this recipe replaces the eggplant with courgette and changes the spicing a bit. I can say that it is also quite successful. In one of my previous posts I have already told you guys that courgette is not my favourite thing in the world, but I think this dish will be serves quite often in my kitchen from now on! It is quite easy to make! You will have something nice on the table without much effort!

Ingredients (serves 2 – 3)

4 courgettes, rasped roughly

courgettes

rasped courgettes

200 grams of meat (cubed) or minced meat

2 – 3 green peppers, cut fine

green peppers

2 small tomatoes, peeled and cubed

3 spoons of olive oil

100 grams of butter

Grounded red pepper

Cumin

Salt

200 grams of strained yoghurt mixed with garlic and salt to your taste

Method:

1. Melt the butter and add a drop of olive oil to it. Let the meat be cooked in it till it soaks the water it released.
2. Add the peppers, sauté for one or two minutes.
3. Add the tomato and add the salt. Cook for about 4 – 5 minutes till the tomatoes are cooked. Add the cumin, grounded red pepper and salt to your liking.
4. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the courgettes here till they are soft. Add salt to your liking.
5. Time to serve: put the courgettes on your plate. Put the yoghurt with garlic on top. And then add the meat on top of it. Enjoy!!

COURGETTE PIE

(MUCVER)

Actually, the first title I thought of for this recipe was “Courgettes in an eatable way!”. I don’t like courgettes at all and I have always wondered what the purpose of the existence of courgettes is :-)

But this recipe does justice to the purpose of the existence of courgettes, believe me! It is so rich in its ingredients; even courgettes cannot make it go wrong! :-)

It is an awesome vegetarian dish, I think (that is if you eat eggs)

Ingredients (Serves 8 big slices)

3 courgettes, rasped

courgettes, rasped

3 eggs

1 glass of flour

200 grams of feta cheese

4 – 5 green onions

main ingredients

Method:

1. Bring the oven to 180 degrees in advance.
2. Take a cake mold and use a bit of the olive oil for the bottom.
3. Mix the legumes and then add all the rest of the ingredients and put them in the mold
4. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes.
