Juicy's Dinner:

In a large pan, brown 1 onion, finely chopped, and 1 zucchini/squash, cubed about 1.5 inches over 1 T. olive oil and 1 T. butter. Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, crushed in your palm to make it less "sharp". Add 1 teaspoon sugar. Once the onion is translucent (the zucchini might still be crisp), remove the mixture from the pan.

Break each lamb patty up into 4 quarters. Add a little more butter to the pan and brown them on high heat, on both sides. Add the juice from the can of crushed tomatoes and simmer for a minute or two. Add half the can of tomatoes and the onion/zuccini mixture. Add about 1 T of oregano and simmer for like 5 minutes, or until the zuccini are tender on the outside but crisp on the inside. (you could add the whole can of tomatoes if the mixture seems a little too dry or doesn't taste that good to you. And add more oregano if the flavor is a little too weak.)

This would be really nice over penne, but probably not angel hair. I know you don't want to make the brown rice, so if you have more than one zuchini: Halve it lengthwise and scoop out most of the seeds, either with a spoon or a melon baller. Rub a little olive oil, salt and pepper into the now empty log and roast it in a 450 degree oven until tender. You could then spoon the lamb mixture into it and eat it morrocan style.

I always keep wine around to cook with. Just get one of those big jugs of white and of red and forget you have it. They have mellow flavor so they're perfect for cooking with.

I hope it tastes ok!

well i am done! so far - i like it. I like the taste of the lamb, it doesn't really taste too much different from ground beef to me.. maybe a tad bit different... a little bit of a hint of liver or something. Anyway, I like liver so this is okay.

Chris is almost home, i can't wait for him to test it haha

Great! Did you end up serving it over penne or doing the zucchini stick thing?

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

i actually just served it with angel hair - and it was almost like a meat sauce because i cut the patties into like 8 pieces each. So that worked out.

Well good, I'm glad you liked it!
