CHEESY COURGETTE CAKE RECIPE
I have to admit I haven't made many savoury cakes in my kitchen, but this definitely has to be one of my favourites. The subtle salty taste from crumbly feta cheese mixed with the deep grated green skin and firm pale flesh; courgette (or known as zucchini) and fresh herbs just compliment each other so well. I can assure you that the courgette is well disguised for any potential fussy eaters here!
This cake is also unbelievably versatile and can almost be eaten at any time of the day. I even took it on a family picnic the other day and it worked out well.
Butter for greasing/frying
Olive oil
2 onions chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
2-3 large courgettes grated
1 tsp salt
250g ricotta (1 tub)
75g parmesan grated
2 tbsp natural yoghurt
Handful chives chopped
4 tbsp dill chopped or 1 tbsp dried
Zest of one lemon
2 eggs beaten
75g feta crumbled
Handful of pine nuts (optional)
Method:
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees and grease a 23 cm cake tin or medium baking dish.
Fry the onion and garlic in a little olive oil and butter over a medium heat until golden brown. Add the chives, dill and lemon zest and combine well.
Grate the courgettes using a food processor or by hand. Transfer to a colander, sprinkle with salt and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Use your fingers or spoon to squeeze out as much moisture as you can. Combine the parmesan,eggs,ricotta, and yoghurt into the onion mix. Stir in the courgettes.
Pour into the tin and bake for 1 hour. Next sprinkle with feta and pine nuts and return to the oven for a further 25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Allow the cake to cool complete (in order for it to set).
Serve at room temperature.
Total time (prep and cooking): 1 hour 45 minutes.
Suitable for: Gluten free, vegetarian, suitable from +12 months.
Other meal ideas: Delicious served with new potatoes, and a crunchy radish salad.
