Recipe notes
What are the origins of zucchini slice?
The origins of zucchini slice seem to be erased from history, all we know is that it’s a dish that Australians can truly call their own (until, like the pavlova, New Zealand claims it!). You may trace it to the frittata, but with added flour or it could be likened to a Persian kuku – a herby baked omelette with the addition of baking powder – but fundamentally it’s ours and we love it!

Why is my zucchini slice mushy?
Zucchinis have a water content of 95% and while the flour in the recipe soaks up a lot of this liquid, it may be worth squeezing out the extra water after grating. To do this either squeeze handfuls of the zucchini into the sink or place the grated zucchini in a sieve over a bowl and use a spoon to press firmly.

Can you make zucchini slice without flour?
It’s the flour that turns this egg-based dish from being an omelette to becoming a slice that can be eaten with your hands. If you need a coeliac-friendly version you can successfully use gluten-free flour. Swap the self-raising flour for 2/3 cup of plain gluten free flour and add one teaspoon of gluten-free baking powder. The other option is to get rid of the flour completely and substitute for a 250g packet of precooked rice. Check out our

Is there a gourmet version of zucchini slice?
As long as you stick to the basic ratios, there’s a lot of room to play around with the recipe here. Give it a Spanish twist by using chorizo and manchego or go Italian with pancetta and mozzarella. You can omit the bacon and cut the slice into smaller pieces and top with labneh, sprinkle with baby mint leaves and serve for canapes.

How long can you keep zucchini slice?
Although you can keep zucchini slice in the fridge for up to 4 days, in my experience, it rarely lasts the day with hungry people around! Refrigerate any leftovers overnight and someone in the family will have snaffled it for breakfast. If you were clever enough to make a double batch, zucchini slice does freeze well. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months and defrost in the fridge overnight.

Do I have to use Cheddar Cheese?

You could use any type of cheese you prefer. My family prefers Cheddar Cheese. Mozzarella, Swiss or Monterey Jack are all good choices.

Do these muffins need to cook longer?

The total baking time is 18 to 20 minutes. The sausage is cooked on the stove top prior to mixing in the batter.

How do I store these muffins?

These muffins can sit on the counter for a short amount of time. However it is best to keep these muffins in the refrigerator, in a tightly covered container or wrapped tightly with plastic. You can store the muffins for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.

Can these muffins be frozen?

You can wrap these tightly wrapped, or placed into a freezer safe container. They will last for up to 3 months in the freezer.

Savor the exquisite tastes of this 20-minute gourmet dish: Lemon Butter Pan-Seared Cod. A zesty lemon butter sauce elevates these plain fish fillets to the level of a culinary masterwork in this dish. This dish’s rich tastes and flaky, delicate fish will be sure to wow, making it ideal for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

The recipe calls for four 6-oz fillets of thick-sliced fish.

1 tablespoon of AP flour

A quarter teaspoon of each of the following: garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano.

one-fourth teaspoon of salt

“Ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon”

olive oil, 2 tablespoons

Two and a half teaspoons of cold unsalted butter

the finely minced garlic of four cloves

1/4 cup of chicken broth

2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice

fresh parsley, minced, 1 tbsp

Here are the directions:

Bring together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small plate. Press the spiced flour mixture onto each fish fillet so it covers completely.

In a big skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to bubble, toss in the breaded fish fillets. To get a golden brown color and fully cooked, heat for three to four minutes per side. After cooking, take the fillets out and put them aside.

Put the minced garlic into the same pan and cook for around a minute, or until it begins to smell good. After adding the chicken stock, reduce the liquid by half by simmering.

Divide the chilled butter into little pieces and set aside. To get a glossy sauce, stir in the butter cubes one by one as you add them to the pan.

Finally, stir in the chopped parsley and fresh lemon juice. Taste and add more spice as needed.

Spoon the lemon butter sauce over the cooked cod fillets and return them to the pan. To heat thoroughly, cook for one more minute.

Quickly serve the pan-seared fish with more parsley on top, if preferred. Serve with your preferred accompaniments.

Important note: To speed up the thawing process, soak frozen cod in cold water for approximately half an hour prior to cooking.

To make turning the cod fillets easier, use a skillet that doesn’t stick.

Serve with steamed rice, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad for a satisfying dinner.

FAQs: Are frozen fish fillets OK to use? Yes, freezing cod fillets for 30 minutes in cold water before cooking is a rapid way to defrost them.

Prepare your tastebuds for a savory treat that’s neither bird nor fowl. Introducing: City Chicken. Don’t let the name mislead you; this dish might sound poultry-themed, but in reality, it’s an ode to pork. Hailing from Polish-American roots, City Chicken takes you on a gastronomical journey, from the buzzing streets of Pittsburgh and Cleveland to your dining table.

City Chicken: A Deceptive Delight

City chicken might masquerade as its feathered counterpart, but its essence is pure pork. A cherished recipe from the Depression Era, this dish gives the illusion of a fried chicken leg, but with a bite that’s unmistakably pork.

So, what is City Chicken? While the name might have you thinking poultry, this dish is actually pork’s answer to the fried chicken leg. Cubes of juicy pork are speared onto skewers, seasoned to perfection, cloaked in an egg and breadcrumb armor, flash-fried to a crispy golden hue, and then baked until tender. The result is a mouth-watering mock chicken leg that you’ll find hard to resist.

City Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless pork, cubed (1 1/2-inch pieces)

Salt, pepper, and seasoned salt to your liking

4 eggs

3 tablespoons milk

2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs

2 cups water

2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

You’ll also need:

14 (4-inch) skewers

A 9×13-inch baking dish

A wire rack

Preparation

Start by threading 2 to 3 pork cubes onto each skewer. Season generously with salt, pepper, and seasoned salt. Place skewers to one side.

Grab two shallow bowls. In the first, whisk together the eggs and milk. Fill the second bowl with your seasoned bread crumbs. Arrange a wire rack inside your baking dish, and pour in water. Ensure the water level doesn’t touch the rack.

Turn your oven on, setting it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Similarly, heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dive right into the coating process. First, submerge the skewers into the egg mixture, followed by a dip into the breadcrumbs. Double-dip for an extra crispy crust.

Once well-coated, fry each skewer until it sports a gorgeous golden-brown shade, typically taking 3 minutes on each side.

Transfer the fried skewers onto the wire rack, ensuring they’re spaced apart. For the final touch, cloak the dish with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven. 20 minutes should suffice until the pork loses its pinkish hue. But we’re not done yet! For the perfectly crispy crust, remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Serve immediately, and watch as everyone marvels at the deceptive delight that is the City Chicken.
