TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE WITH CRISP CHEDDAR TOPPING



Tomato and Zucchini Casserole With Crisp Cheddar Topping image

This casserole is a modern twist on an old favorite, the tomato-zucchini bake. But instead of a Parmesan and bread-crumb topping, this one is covered in a savory oat and Cheddar crumble that crisps and browns in the oven. Dollops of garlicky, herbed ricotta make the casserole wonderfully rich and creamy, while olives liven it up with their salty tang. This is equally good warm or at room temperature, preferably served within four hours of baking so the topping stays crunchy. Or you could make it the night before and reheat it in a 375-degree oven until bubbling. It makes an excellent side dish or meatless main course.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUST AND TOPPING
4 c flour
1 1/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 c butter, melted - she used margarine
1/2 tsp cinnamon - i use 1 tsp
FILLING
8 c peeled and sliced zucchini , if large seeds - remove...
2/3 c lemon juice
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 c chopped pecans - my addition

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a large bowl, mix all crust ingredients, until crumbly. In a 9 x 13 baking dish, place 1/2 the crumb mixture into dish and pat down evenly. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • 2. Cool on rack. Make filling. In a large saucepan, place zucchini, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook until tender. ( I slice my zucchini thin, so the cooking only take about 8 - 10 minutes, you don't want the filling mushy.)
  • 3. Once zucchini is tender add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of topping to thicken. Cook another minute or two, until thickened.
  • 4. Remove from heat and spread on the crust.
  • 5. Sprinkle the top with the remainder of crumb mixture. Place back in oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until topping begins to brown and filling is bubbly.
  • 6. Can serve warm with ice cream if desired. Delicious!

Tips:

  • Choose tender zucchini: For the best texture, use young, tender zucchini that are about 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Avoid zucchini that are large and seedy, as they will be less flavorful and have a tougher texture.
  • Shred the zucchini coarsely: This will help the zucchini to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the shredding blade to shred the zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini is a delicate vegetable that can easily become overcooked. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a variety of spices: Zucchini has a mild flavor, so it can be easily seasoned with a variety of spices. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Serve zucchini crisp warm or cold: Zucchini crisp is delicious served warm or cold. It can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or snack.

Conclusion:

Zucchini crisp is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up zucchini from your garden or local farmers market. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, zucchini crisp is a surefire hit for the whole family.
