This is for my beautiful, smart and lovely friend

Yeah, this recipe is for a friend of mine, she likes my cooking and I like her :)

The baked zucchini dish has been made by the women of my family in a variety of ways. My grandmother used to pan fry it like small potato pancakes. My mom and I prefer the baked version, but the one, who mastered the recipe is my cousin, who lives by the Mediterranean. The fresh produce and the sun and the sweet smells of the pines and wild oregano might be some of the contributing factors, but she is an amazing cook.

Evet, bu tarif benim yemeklerimi seven ve benim cok sevdigim bir arkadasim icin.

Kabak mucveri ailemizin tum kadinlari tarafindan cesitli bicimlerde yapilagelmistir. Anneannem mucveri yagda kizartirdi, annem ve ben firinda piseni tercih ederiz. Ama bu yemegin esas ustasi Akdeniz kiyisinda yasayan kuzenimdir. Taze sebzelerin, gunesin, cam agaclarinin ve yabani kekik kokusunun tabi ki katkisi oluyordur, ama kendisi de harika bir ascidir.

Baked Zucchini

4-5 large zucchinis, peeled and shredded
a large bundle of scallions, chopped, both white and green parts
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 eggs
fresh herbs,whatever you like,lots of them, at least 2 cups chopped (parsley, dill, basil, mint,tarragon you can use all, only one or some of them) - no cilantro please, I love cilantro but not in this dish and no dried herbs.
salt, pepper
red pepper flakes (optional)
feta cheese (optional) if you like it cheesy why not!
all purpose flour

Preheat oven to the universal 375 F.
Mix everything together in a large bowl except the flour. Then add  as much flour as needed to bring the mix to the consistency of a thick cake batter.
Lightly grease your best baking dish, because that is what you are going to serve it in, pour the batter in the dish and bake for a good 45-50 minutes. Test doneness like testing a cake if you want, but your nose is the best indicator, it will smell like it is done, when it is done. Serve hot or at room temperature. Enjoy!


Kabak Mucveri

4-5 iri kabak, soyulup rendelenecek
buyuk bir demet taze sogan, kiyilacak
1/2 cay fincani zeytinyagi
2 yumurta
kiyilmis taze otlar, en az iki cay fincani, maydanoz, dereotu, reyhan, nane ister hepsini, ister bir tanesini, ister birkacini kullanin ama lutfen kurutulmus kullanmayin
tuz, karabiber
isterseniz kirmizi pul biber
isterseniz beyaz peynir
un

Firini evrensel pisirme derecesi 190 C ye ayarlayin.
En guzel firin kabinizi (mucveri sofraya bunun icinde getireceksiniz ya) hafifce yaglayin.
Un haric butun malzemeyi karistirin, sonra  karisim katica bir kek hamuru kivamina gelene kadar un ekleyim, firin kabina bosaltip, en az 45-50 dk. pisirin. Pisip pismedigini kek kontrol eder gibi kurdanla kontrol edebilirsiniz, ama bu konuda en iyi gosterge insanin burnu oluyor. Yemek pisince pismis gibi kokacaktir cunku. Ister sicak, ister oda isisinda sevis yapin. Afiyet olsun!
