Why This Recipe Is So Flavorful
Cooking Tips
- Use a good quality feta for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Bake until the zucchini is tender but still holds its shape to avoid mushiness.
Step 1
Put the bulgur in a bowl and pouring boiling water over it. Cover the bowl and let it sit until the water is fully absorbed. While that’s soaking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
Step 2
Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onions and garlic and cook them until they’re soft and just starting to turn translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the zucchini along with the oregano, basil, marjoram, and a little black pepper. Keep cooking for another 5 minutes or so, until the zucchini is tender but still holding its shape.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then mix in the feta and cottage cheese. Once the bulgur is ready, stir in the parsley, tomato paste, and tamari until everything is well combined.
Step 4
Now it’s time to layer everything in your casserole dish. Start with the bulgur mixture, then spread the zucchini on top. Follow that with the cheese mixture, a layer of Cheddar, and sliced tomato. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and cover the dish with foil.
Step 5
Pop it in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, until it’s hot and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
