Zucchini & Rice Pie
« on: November 25, 2012, 03:49:10 am »
Name of Recipe: Zucchini & Rice Pie
Number of People: Serves 2 but will serve 4 as part of a meal -  it can be doubled
Ingredients:

45g cheddar cheese cubed
250g zucchini - cut into 5 cm chunks
50g red onion
small handful parsley, remove stems
1 egg
40g uncooked long grain rice
1 tblspns olive oil
S & P to taste
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed


Preparation:

Preheat oven to 190oC fan forced.
Grate cheese 4 sec/speed 8. Remove from bowl.
Add onion, zucchini & parsley to TM bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 5.
Add grated cheese, egg, rice, S & P and oil.
Mix 3 sec/reverse/speed 5.

Line a 20cm quiche dish or tin with pastry (I used a fluted, loose bottomed one).  Trim excess, pour in the filling and brush the top of the sides of the pastry with milk before topping with the remaining piece of pastry. Make 4 slits in the top with a knife. Brush the top with milk.

Bake 30 mins, remove the pie completely from the fluted tin (if using) and bake a further 10 minutes to crisp up the bottom of the pastry.

Converted and adapted for the Thermomix from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage Veg Everyday.

Looks delicious Judy, especially as it is zucchini season and we are bound to be eating a lot of it soon! One question, how much rice to add?

Thanks Jamberie, have added that ingredient  :-))  It's a delicious pie and a great way to use up excess quantities of zucchini.  I would have liked to have made individual ones in the pie maker but of course the rice wouldn't have cooked in such a short time. Hugh did his in filo pastry but I prefer to use what I have on hand.

Yes and thanks for lending me the book Katie - now I have to buy it as there are so many good recipes in there.  A vegetable book with some lovely recipes that can be served as sides as opposed to some vegie books which are more for vegetarians.

It's raw kt2.  As it cooks, it swells and takes care of any liquid in the pie  ;)

We had this last night and it all went. Surprisingly tasty given the few ingredients and so easy. Will be making again regularly. Thank JD.

Thanks girls, yes I agree it is tasty for so few ingredients Moo2.  Gorgeous photo Jamberie, the colours are so vibrant in your filling.

I did add a couple of shallots, just because they needed to be used, but I often find photos (particularly pastry & dough) come out darker in photos  :-\
Thanks again for a great recipe.

This looks lovely. I am always looking for recipes that have vegies in different ways, or as a main meal. What book was it please Judy or Katie?

What a dope. :'( I know thank you as I have now looked at the bottom of the recipe.. I'm even more thrilled as I happen to know that the book will be under the Christmas tree for  me from DD. She obviously made a good choice when she selected it.

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

You will love the book Cookie.  I've sent one to DD amongst her Christmas presents and have ordered one for myself after having a look through Katie's.  Amongst us all, we can fill the vegie thread here with some nice new recipes hopefully.
