A few days
after the eggplant/zucchini casserole, the neighbors came for dinner and we
served fried eggplant and zucchini that was coated the same as my July, 11 post for Eggplant Parmesan
. After flipping, I topped them with
sliced mozzarella, plated, sided with spaghetti, and topped with everything
homemade sauce.
Some liked
the eggplant and some preferred the zukes, but everyone thought both were
delicious. Both veggies are still
producing in the garden, so I feel another batch of ratatouille coming on.
Using a
recipe from Bon Appetit, Bev made these nice little appetizers of procuitto, melon, mozzarella, and
basil leaves with a drizzle olive oil/basil sauce.
I liked them
with or without the sauce.

Have a great
day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

Taste tests are some of the fun things about cooking. Love Bev's appetizer. The perfect accompaniment to the fried tasting.

Eggplant and I really don't speak to each other, but those appetizer skewers are talking to me!
ReplyDeleteLove your eggplant and zucchini stacks and Bev's appetizer looks so good. You must be in Summer harvest bliss.
ReplyDeleteI will say that I do love fried zucchini over eggplant... but only because eggplant can go to crispy and good to soggy in about 2.2 seconds.... now, would I shy away from either.. heck no!!!! Bring me a huge plate of both please!!!
ReplyDeleteLove those veggie stacks; I love fried zuchini the best but with the sauce and cheese both would be delicious. Bev's appetizers look fresh and delicious-I might have to use her idea next time we have company! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Bev's appetizer kbobs. And so pretty on the lettuce leaves.
ReplyDeleteI will be giving that recipe a try! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLarry, I would definitely like the zucchini parmesan and Bev's appetizer kbobs look terrific! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteIt all looks good, but those appetizers look just great!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the zucchini! They both look terrific though :)
ReplyDeleteI'd favor the zukes, but doesn't matter which, because you prepared them both perfectly. Love Bev's appeez! You are both such kind hosts to your friends!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like both too! I am also loving the melon appetizer... great flavors & textures together.
ReplyDeleteI would have enjoyed being a taster at this meal...all favorites.
