ZUCCHINI TART WITH FETA AND MINT
With the 9 Butterstick & Lebanese zucchini plants just beginning their first blooms I have begun the hunt for great recipes to use them in. This tart makes use of zucchini & the mint that is doing oh so well. Found it on Natashya's food blog - www.livinginthekitchenwithpuppies.blogspot.com/2008/06/magazine-mondays-zucchini-tart-with.html (gotta love the name - blog is good too). She found it in LCBO Food and Drink, Summer 2008. Hat tip Natashya.
