As most of you know, Onur is Turkish. I am attempting to learn Turkish (Türkçe) which is challenging. I’m also trying to learn how to cook Turkish cuisine, but he happens to be an amazing chef, so usually I get kicked out of the kitchen pretty quickly. However, he agreed to let me try to document one of the many dishes he makes that he makes without a recipe.
Late summer is a great time to get a hold of Zucchini. If you have some in your garden, awesome. If you are like me and don’t have a garden (yet!), then ask coworkers, neighbors, etc. They will most likely already be trying to get rid of excess this time of year. This last week I was gifted two very LARGE zucchini. Onur laughed at my glee. Silly man, I will make you eat all of the summer squash now.
This week I will share recipes for:
– Old-fashioned Oatmeal with apples, rasins, and honey-toasted walnuts
– Zucchini “Pasta”
– Minestrone Soup
– Carrot & Zucchini Bars or Cupcakes
