Windsurfer Squares
with Wine Suggestions
Serves 8-12 (as an appetizer)

The Savvy Grapes Sommeliers have lots of fun working with wines...yet, our lives aren't all about wine! At our summer team party, we found out that a number of us like to spend our spare time in the summer by the water. Jean Sebastien, is an avid windsurfer, Debbie loves to sail and Susan enjoys  reading on her dock.

This recipe is one that has been shared with friends who love to cook, entertain and most of all...enjoy the water!

The Savvy Grapes wine suggestion:
White Wine - Riesling
Rieslings tend to be light with slight sweet tastes.  With aromas of citrus (grapefruit perhaps?), sweet melons that is refreshing on the palate.  Specific wines to try: Cave Springs Riesling VQA, Niagara, at LCBO $13
 

Huff Estates Off Dry Riesling, Prince Edward County VQA $14.95 (contact The Savvy Grapes to arrange a shipment directly from winery). 

Other countries that have Rieslings...be on the look out for wines from:

  • New Zealand 

  • Australia

  • Germany

  • Alsace France

 


3 Cups thinly sliced Zucchini
4 Eggs - beaten
1 Cup Bisquick Mix 
1/2 Cup chopped Onion
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 Clove Garlic
2 Tablespoons chopped Parsley
1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Pepper

Add eggs to other ingredients and mix.  Fold in Zucchini.  
Cook in a 9x13
greased pan at 350 C oven. for about 45 minutes til brown.
Serve by slicing into squares, triangles or wedges (for a main dish). Enjoy!
