I have in the past tried to grow zucchini but I always have problems with powdery mildew and not wanting t spray I tend to pull them out. So I opt for a recipe one that I have adapted from not quite Nigella's pie. As I don't eat meat I thought what I could do is substitute cubes of zucchini, feta and asparagus then the egg. Now this is usually where a photo should be but it seems the powers that be have deleted the photos from the camera to the computer, sigh. They were really tasty and looked pretty nice.
A quick run down to making them....
* chop zucchini into cubes, fry with garlic, salt and a little chilli
* roll sliced bread flat and cut out a round to fit into a muffin tin. Butter the round on both sides and pop one into each muffin hole
* Now pop a little zucchini and crumbled feta then an egg and pop a spear of 2 of asparagus into each bread case.
* bake in the oven at around 180 for 20 or so minutes.
Sorry for the no photos perhaps I will do them again and post up some. Checkout Louise's blog for more zucchini love
Yum, yum, I am liking this!Kind of like a fritatta, nice.
ReplyDeleteIt is although it is a whole egg baked. I hoped e bread might be crunchy but perhaps I needed to cook them a little first before adding the rest of the ingredients. They were pretty nice
DeleteInteresting idea. I'm growing zucchini for the first time in a while this year. I stopped due to excess crops which I didn't know what to do with. I didn't try this though.
ReplyDeleteThey were pretty good and great for lunch or a picnic
