Market update: Organic produce is very
short at the moment, weather extremes; heat, drought and storms have stunted
crops nation wide. Poor conditions coupled with few organic farmers and growing
demand has meant that what we can source for you may occasionally be limited
and/or erratic. The upside of this is that more people demanding organic
produce will encourage more farmers to switch to organic farming practices and
we will all be better off. J
Recipe
of the Month: Zucchini Slice,
(Thank you Tracey).
SERVES
6, PREP TIME 20 MINS, COOK TIME 45 MINS, OVEN TEMP 180
Ingredients:
- 2
Medium Zucchini
- 2
Large Carrots
- 1
Large Onion. I prefer Red onion
- 4-6
Cloves of garlic
- 5
eggs-whisked.
- 1
cup of Grated Cheese (cheddar and parmesan work well)
- 1/2
cup Sunflower seeds.
- 1/2
cup Olive Oil (use a little to grease the tray also).
- 1
cup of Self Raising flour- whole meal spelt is what I use.
- 3
fresh corn cobs- cut corn off cob add to mixture raw, it will cook when
you bake.
- 4
rashers of bacon- (pre-cook the bacon)
- Salt
and Pepper to taste.
- Add
fresh herbs like parsley.
Method:
Grate and squeeze moisture out of Zucchini &
Carrot, add to bowl (will be mushy if skipped).
Grate or dice all other ingredients, add to bowl.
Combine all ingredients with 1/2 the cheese, bacon,
corn, sunflower seeds together, add oil, salt and pepper to taste. Then add
flour. Stir through to combine, then add eggs. Make sure eggs are well
combined.
I use a huge metal bowl to do all this, and then
there is less mess.
Grease your chosen baking tray and pour mixture in,
smooth out until flat. Bake for 25 minutes take out add cheese to the top and
bake for further 20 minutes.
Use skewer to test if firm in the middle.
Allow cooling slightly before slicing.
