Baked Zucchini Spanish Stile
Pane-Bistecca
I’ve mentioned in previous posts that my kids aren’t bad cooks at all and this recipe proves it. It’s a recipe that my daughter likes to cook for us. She brought it back from her time studying in Spain. It can be made with eggplant or zucchini; I love this dish, it’s easy and quick.
In Spain, people like to serve these little delicacies as tapas. There are many bars that only serve tapas, which are often eaten quickly while standing up. Tapas means “snack” in Spain, but in Latin America it still has the original meaning of “lid”.
