Brad- potato crust Question of the Week _ recipe - zucchini tart

[Guest guest]

Let me correct something: bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes.

 

Brad I usually make zucchini tart, this is what I put inside. You can

use any of your favorite quiche or any savory pies, for example

spinach ricotta would also be good.

 

Here is what I do for zuchs (makes filling for 2 pies, just half if

you want an average size pie)

 

Crust:

4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded

1 handful chopped chives

olive oil for pie pan

salt to taste

 

Filling:

½ quart egg beaters

½ lb rice cheese or hard crumbly cheese (panela or a mild feta)

½ cup chopped parsley

½ cup chopped fresh dill

2 tbs grated parmesan reggiano

½ grated nutmeg

zuchinni, 4 cups (1 Giant or 2 large)

4 large onions

3 bay leaves

olive oil for sautéing

 

Grate potatoes, squeeze out excess water, and add salt. Add chopped

chives. Add olive oil to large pie pan (I have made it in 12 inch

and 16 inch deep pizza pans) and press the potato-chive mix. Bake in

preheated oven (350) for ~ 12 – 15 minutes (it should be half done)

 

While the crust is baking, peel and chop onions. Zucchinis can be

coarsely grated. Sauté onions in olive oil adding bay leaves at the

beginning. When onion is well browned, add zucchinis until cooked.

In large bowl, add egg beaters. Add chopped herbs, parmesan (save some

for top) and nutmeg. Add zucchini mix.

 

Add mix to pie crust (or crusts if making two regular size pies), add

Parmesan cheese on top and bake until done in 350F (about 30 minutes)
