Zucchini Pie

Icon Glenna / Main dishes / Vegetarian


A family favorite--to cook and to eat.


Directions

  1. 1. Cook onion with a little water in microwave for one minute, then allow to cool somewhat.
  2. 2. Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and cream of tartar in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. 3. Mix all other ingredients together, then add the onion and the flour mixture and mix until everything is pretty well blended.
  4. 4. Grease a 10" pie pan or casserole, fill it with the blended mixture, and bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes until it is browned on top and smells good. Serve hot.

  5. *Here is where the variations come in. Try adding broccoli (small florets plus chopped stems) and mushrooms (sliced thin). Try adding chopped swiss chard or other leafy greens. Try adding leftover cooked root vegetables in small chunks (this includes potatoes). Leave out the zucchini altogether and use these substitutes instead. Change the herbs as you please. Go wild with it and let me know what you come up with, because I will surely try it too.
