Brown one pound of lean ground meat (venison, sirloin, turkey, etc.) To the browned meat add 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 Tablespoon each of dried oregano and basil, and 2 Tablespoons of tomato paste. Stir around and let it cook out for a minute. Then add 4-5 medium zucchini, thinly sliced. Cook the zucchini in the meat mixture until tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. After the zucchini turns kind of flimsy, add one 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Spread in a casserole and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in 400 degree oven for 40 minutes.
While the casserole is in the oven, mix up a little Focaccia bread. Mix 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 1/4 tsp (or one packet) quick-rising yeast in a bowl. Add 1 cup hot water + 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Mix until everything is wet, then add 1/2 cup more flour and mix to form a soft dough (add more flour if needed, but do not knead the dough. The dough does not need to be kneaded. You need not to knead the dough. I need to stop now, don't I?)
Where was I? Oh, cover the dough for 10 minutes. Then roll it out on a baking sheet or stone, top with basil and oregano, and bake in a 425 degree oven for about 12-15 minutes.
Cut the bread like a pizza and then serve slices of Focaccia topped with zucchini parmesan.
Please try it????
Enjoy!
