Zucchini Pie

Method:

SERVES 6

This recipe combines zucchini with onion and grated vegan cheese and not much else, but the flavor is dynamite. The whole wheat crust doesn’t even need to be rolled out; just combine the ingredients and press into a pie pan. If you want, call it “Zucchini Pizza” instead of “Zucchini Pie”; you’ll be amazed at how many more people try it with the word pizza in the title!

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the margarine, cutting it in until the dough is crumbly. Add the cold water. Mix lightly and form into a ball.

Press the ball of dough into a 20 cm pie pan until it covers the bottom and up the sides to the top of the pan.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saut. the onion for about 5 minutes, or until soft.

Spread the mustard on the bottom of the pie shell. Mix the zucchini, onion, non-dairy cheese, and ground flaxseed mixture together in a large bowl and pour over the crust.

Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the crust starts to brown and the cheese starts to set.
