Hello everybody.

Saw this recipe last week while searching for the potato pizza and pinned it to do later, looked good and today it proved it’s delicious.

You simply slice potatoes with skin on thinly, then you saute some onions till tender and caramelized. Arrange potatoes in a greased pan, I used olive oil, then add salt, pepper, onions and grated cheese. Add few fresh leaves then repeat the process.
Sprinkle cheese on top and cover, bake in a moderate heated oven for 35-40 minutes.
Leave to cool then cut to slices, very good with roasted chicken or beef.

Carrot Zucchini Pie.

Hello everybody.

Tried this recipe that’s been popping in front of me whenever I open Pinterest and since my husband and son are on diet cause of stomach flu plus I have these lovely zucchinis from the farm.

 

A lovely zucchini carrot pie,crust is salty pie dough and filling is same as asparagus pie but I omitted the egg then you line up thin slices of veggies consequently till you get a nice shape and bake.

ingredients and method:

For the crust:
* 1 egg, beaten.
* 1 tsp salt.
* 3/4 cup butter.
* 1 1/2 cup flour.
* 2 big spoons cold water.

filling:

* 2 tablespoons labaneh or sour cream.
* 1 tsp mustard.
* 1 egg ( I added 2 tablespoons yogurt instead today)
* 1/2 cup grated cheese ( any kind that melts or Parmesan)

* salt and pepper.

* oregano to sprinkle on top.

* thinly sliced zucchinis and carrots.

* knead dough and leave to rest for 30 minutes then spread in a pie pan.

* mix filling very well then spread over pie crust.

* line the veggie slices consequently till all covered then sprinkle oregano on top.

* cover with foil then bake in a medium heated oven for 30-40 minutes or till veggies are done ( you can boil carrots a bit before lining them cause they stayed hard a bit)

* roast surface till crispy and serve when cooled a bit.

 

 

I also made pasta with yogurt garlic and mint and potato soup.

Hello everybody.

End of a very busy week at last, hope weekend will be relatively relaxing, though till now too much is scheduled already.
Well lunch today was an open buffet as I call it,all leftovers in the fridge but I did a small side dish cause I have these freshly picked asparagus so it’s a shame not to do something with them, so I picked this recipe from Pinterest ,easy and quick and luckily I have all ingredients.

Ingredients and method :
* 1 pack puff pastry.
* 2 tablespoons labaneh or sour cream.
* 1 tsp mustard.
* 1 egg.
* 1 cup grated cheese ( any kind that melts).
* asparagus.
* Salt, pepper and a bit of nutmeg.

* when pastry is tender roll it to a rectangle shape then put it in a rectangular oven pan.leave sides up a little.
* bake in a medium heated oven for 20 minutes or till it’s golden from bottom.
* mix half of the cheese, egg, labaneh and mustard well then add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
* spread mixture over half baked pastry then line up the asparagus after cutting the hard stems.
* sprinkle rest of cheese on top then bake again for 15 minutes then roast top till golden.
Serve hot as a side dish with any roasted beef or chicken.

wpid-img_5026635952676.jpeg
I did try it few months ago but result was nothing like it at all.
Well today I encouraged myself for a second trial, this time with more patience . Result was very much better,  not as perfect as the picture but not bad at all 🙂

wpid-photogrid_1397139817517.jpg

 

It’s basic dough, today with mixed whole wheat and white flour. Stuffing is spinach and white cheese.
You can use other kinds if stuffing. It’s the shape that counts.

Hope you try it !!
