As per request from my SIL
Oh well...I have been so busy in doing nothing ..nothin at all... just wasting time... I think.
Then yesterday my SIL Julia, writes me to suggest her some yummy healthy recipe.
So I thought ..what that could be ? Well Julia doesnt eat any meat, no chocolate either just Veges...so I went home with this amazing recipe which I tried ages ago ...very easy to make and very satisfying... guess what there is no meat in it but just eggs ... I hope Julia likes to eat eggs.
Here it goes Julia....I got this recipe from exclusivleyfood.com blog... its not my own creation but you can modify it to taste as original recipe suggested to use 130 g bacon and fry it with onion. But I dont like bacon, so I used grated carrots instead.
Zucchini Slice
550g zucchini
1 -2 medium onion
75g (1 cup lightly packed) grated tasty cheddar cheese (I use low fat one)
3/4 cup Self raising flour
Salt and Pepper
4 Large eggs
83ml (1/3 cup) Oil ( Use peanut oil or any mild flavour one oil could do the job, I used extra light olive oil)
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius (160 degrees Celsius fan-forced)
2. Line a n 18cm x 28cm baking dish or slice pan with baking paper
3. Finely chop onion. Heat a heavy-based pan over medium high heat.
4. Fry onion for about six minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened but not browned. Set asid to cool
5. Wash zuccini, remove the ends and finely grate. Squeeze handfuls of grated Zucchini over sink to remove excess liquid. ( this prevents the slice from being too wet.)
6. Combine grated Zucchini, colled onion and cheese, flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
7. Beat the eggs and oil together with fork. Add egg and oil mixture to other ingredients and stir to continue.
8. Pout the mixture into baking dish and spread evenly.
9. Bake it for about 45 minutes or until slice is golden brown and firm to the touch.
10. Set aside for five to ten minutes before slicing.
11. Serve with salad.
(Please note this is not my own recipe, also due to hungery monsters in my home , I didnt had any opportunity to take a pic of this recipe. If you want to see how it looks go to http://www.exclusivelyfood.com.au/)
