Zucchini Espanolas

One thing that Roger The Builder gave us from his garden was a zucchini the size of my arm. See?


And once again, his wife was kind enough to share another recipe. However... I did her wrong. I did her very, very wrong by making a silly, stupid mistake. I did not de-rib or de-seed the chillies. Nope I did not. I just threw the whole thing, all 6 of them, in the pot... spicy white rib plus seeds and all. Oh. My. HolyMouthOnFire. Oops. I will be making this again though because otherwise I thought it was delicious.

p.s. My mom and boyfriend are not wimps like me and THEY actually ate it!
