Recipe: ?Cucurbitus Caesaris? 2005

This is so simple but the results are fantastic. It's just zucchini quickly cooked in a virgin version of the classic cocktail, the Caesar. As with most drinks, I follow the Paul Harrington recipe.

Slice the end bits off a small (but not tiny) zucchini (~6" long, 1.5" diameter), and then cut it into 1/4" slices.

In a sauce or saute pan, put the following ingredients:
4 oz Clamato
dash Worcestershire sauce
pinch of black pepper
pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon horseradish (a bit less if you're wussy)
1/8 teaspoon celery seed

Turn the heat on to medium-high under the pan and add the zucchini.

Stir to coat in sauce & celery seeds.

Bring to boil, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to low-medium and cover.

Allow to cook about 3 minutes until zucchini softens just slightly.

Serve (with spoons available to eat the delicious sauce).

[I'm just awaiting confirmation from my Latin consultants regarding the correct form for the name of this recipe]

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
