Savory Zucchini Pastry

About a week ago, I was going through foodpress for the latest entries for inspiration. I saw this beautiful Zucchini and Puff Pastry dish by La Casita Inspirada, on the main page. It looked memorizing. I had to make it! For the last 5 days, this recipe had been on my mind, waiting for the perfect opportunity to add this to our dinner. Today was the day I finally made it! My husband and I were having a leftover night and as always, I try to have something fresh, as a side. I changed the original recipe to to use what ingredients I had at home. The results:  a crispy, flavorful pastry that was a perfect accompaniment to roasted chicken.

Thank you La Casita Inspirada for the wonderful recipe and inspiration! Please Click Here for original recipe!
