Kuku Kadoo, Fun to Say

For once in our lives we could all celebrate together! Sarah's freezer full of lamb and my intense desire for a dish called Kuku Kadoo brought us to this meal that finished off with a much-too-ugly-to-photograph but still delicious pistachio meringue smothered with rose-water-doused mascarpone and fresh strawberries. You can read about that and see a much prettier picture here.

Here's us making mint pesto to smother all over the delectable little lamb chops. Mint + almonds + garlic + olive oil, salt, lemon juice = outrageously tasty pesto.

This is us whipping the meringue by hand! For at least ten minutes straight! In an 800 degree kitchen! I need a mixer!

Here's the Kuku Kadoo! I highly recommend halving--or even quartering--the recipe, as it made enough to feed oh, I'd say approximately 30 people as a side dish. Just wayyy too much zucchini frittata in my life after this meal. Oh, and also, the called-for 12-inch skillet is at least three times too small to fit all of the ingredients. Anyway. It was delicious nonetheless.

Here is the final meal all gorgeous and delicious.
