Living in a condo, there is not much of a garden we can have, so when people offer us goodies from their gardens, we happily accept. That's how I came to get this beautiful zucchini. Not being able to have a garden or even a yard, for that matter, is one of the only things I regret about living in a condo. I grew up in apartments and condos my entire life, so I am fairly accustom to it. But as a child, I remember having a garden at my Grandmother's house in Connecticut. I remember the rows of squash and string beans; vines of tomatoes and cucumbers. Maybe because it was many years ago and I was young, I don't remember anything else but those vegetables. If it were my garden now...it would be vastly different. But I digress and must rely on good produce stores and generous "gardener" friends, like my zucchini "connection". Along with my gifted zucchinis, squash and cucumbers came an array of recipes that my friend thought I might like to try out. One in particular was a recipe for Greek Zucchini Cakes. I tweaked the recipe just a smidge by omitting pine nuts and using seasoned breadcrumbs in its place. They were delicious! The feta cheese with the tang of the dill really gave it that Greek flavor that they were named for. What was supposed to serve 4-6 people quickly turned into serving 2! This recipe is definitely going in my "keeper" file and the zucchini cakes will be making a repeat performance very soon!
