Zuchini Quiche, Thai Green Curry

July 07, 2005

Yesterday I made the trident thai green curry. I used more chicken than usual - about 900g - to make a larger qty, and to make it a bit milder because I am going to serve it for dinner friday night where not all the guests eat super hot from memory. The veg I used was sweet potato which I steamed a bit first, diced carrot (which I should have steamed a bit first), a wee bit of zuchini and red capsicum added when it was almost done (as I had both out for the zuchini quiche I was making) and some green peas at the end.

I also made zuchini quiche again. I am starting to really like this recipe, so here it is. It's so versatile - it's from N, M's stepmum.

Recipe= 5 eggs (lightly beaten)
250grams Bacon diced (fat cut off)
1 Onion (diced)
2 med Zuchini's or 1 large (grated)
1 cup of cheese (grated)
1 cup of self raising flour (sifted)
1 tablespoon olive oil
pepper to taste
cooking spray

Preheat oven 180 degrees
Using a large mixing bowl beat eggs
Add rest of ingredients to bowl, mix well until all flour is absorbed
Coat baking dish generously with cooking spray
Pour all ingredients into baking dish
Bake for 1hr and 15mins on 180 degrees
Enjoy

Lee variations:

I use the basic recipe above and add things to it. Yesterday I put in some garlic salt, some dried thyme, some red capsicum and mushrooms, and as I only had half the bacon specified I put some finely diced chicken thigh in. Anything that goes with eggs will be successful in this recipe.

In my fan forced oven, 1 hour 5 minutes at 170 degrees is plenty. The top goes quite brown, to me it's fairly unattractive, though I am yet to get around to trying covering it with foil for most of the cooking time to see if that makes a difference.

I always serve this with lots of tomato relish.

Bear in mind..

This is a serious 7/10 recipe - easy to prepare and throw whatever you have laying around in to it - a great weeknight recipe. Just letting you know I'm not suggesting it's an absolute stunner or anything..
