SNDC is Not a Dinner Club

Dan’s out of town, so it’s a buyer’s market, Brian and Lena: Courtney and I aim to lure you up here for these? I think they’re like quiches, except less eggy and more cheese-y.

Crust:

* 2 cups all purpose flour – Mike
* 1/2 teaspoon salt – Mike
* 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes – Mike
* 4 tablespoons (or more) ice water – Mike

Filling:

* 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided – Mike
* 4 tablespoons butter, divided – Mike
* 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil – Mike
* 1 cup finely chopped onion – Mike
* 1 small garlic clove, minced – Mike
* 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese – Mike
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper – Mike
* 1 large egg – Mike
* 5 2/3 cups coarsely grated zucchini (about 1 1/3 pounds)
* 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
* 1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese
* 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
* Fleur de sel (a specialty sea salt, apparently)

I’ve got a bunch of strawberries for a side dish, but we could probably use some beverages, too.

I’m at 400 W. McLoughlin Blvd. #6, Vancouver, WA.

Reposting for next week. I’m going to repost this on Courtney‘s behalf so that we can plan ahead for next weekend. Per conversation with Courtney, sounds as though we’ll be having this dish at her house next weekend.

Repost:

I made this recipe a few weeks ago, only with soy milk and no poblano chiles, and it was really good. I think it might be even better with the poblanos.

My place (1201 NE 21st Ave., Portland), 5:30 p.m., Sunday.

Ingredients we need:

Crepes
2 cups soy milk – Ben & Courtney
3 large eggs – Ben & Courtney
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted margarine, melted, cooled
1 teaspoon fine sea salt – Ben & Courtney
2 cups sifted all purpose flour – Ben & Courtney

Mushroom filling
1/3 cup corn oil – Ben & Courtney (well, canola oil, close enough)
2 cups chopped white onions – Dan
1 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thinly sliced Ben & Courtney
2 tablespoons minced freshepazote or fresh cilantro
4 teaspoons finely chopped garlic Ben & Courtney

Sauce
6 large fresh poblano chiles – Dan
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted margarine
1/4 cup chopped white onion – Dan
1 small garlic clove, minced Ben & Courtney
3 tablespoons all purpose flour Ben & Courtney
2 cups warm soy milk Ben & Courtney
1/2 cup soy milk or non-dairy whipping cream Ben & Courtney

Wine – Dan

If anyone is interested in dessert crepes after the main meal, bring whatever dessert fillings/toppings you would like.

Update: I am feeling very unwell and contagious this morning, and I’m thinking that cooking with others is not the best idea. Would you all be all right with postponing my hosting obligations for a week? We could try this next Sunday.
