Yoghurt vegetable slice

I’m fussy when it comes to vegetables. I don’t eat enough of them, I don’t eat them by choice and growing up I would refuse to eat them. A small, round Greek girl running away from zucchini, eggplant and tomato – that was unheard of! As an adult I know I have to eat them so I am always looking at ways to ‘hide’ them. This vegetable slice is a perfect example. Excellent for children or children-like-adults such as me!

Ingredients
  • 1 zucchini - grated
  • 2 small potatoes - grated
  • 1 carrot - grated
  • 1 onion – cut finely
  • 100g corn
  • 150g Ricotta
  • 1.5 teaspoon of mixed herbs
  • 1 garlic clove – cut finely
  • ½ cup S/R flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup yoghurt
  • Salt and pepper

Method:
  • Pre-heat oven at 200 degree fan-forced
  • Grease a tray approximately 20cm x 15cm
  • Grate zucchini, small potatoes, carrot and onion in a food processor
  • Add corn, ricotta, herbs and garlic to the grated vegetables
  • Sift in flour and mix well
  • Mix eggs in a separate bowl and add to the vegetable mixture. Stir until combined
  • Mix in Greek yoghurt
  • Add salt and pepper to taste
  • Pour mixture into tray
  • Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until brown and firm
  • Let stand for 15 minutes until cool


You can serve this warm or cold. If you serve it warm, the base will be a bit soft so handle with care. This slice is a great lunch box treat or dinner side.

My farewell fun yoghurt fact – “Bulgarians have a longer than average lifespan and it is believed that this is due to the large quantities of cultured milk products that they consume”.*

Challenge 3 - Milo and Yoghurt - I think it's my best!

Image
My workmate elegantly put up on my blog "Milo and Yoghurt...go!" This one I had to say excited me. Everytime I eat milo I feel like a kid again. That's what I love about food, it's ability to take you back to memorable moments in your life. Even a piece of kraft single cheese on a piece of toast reminds me of all the amazing times I had at my grandma's growing up. Time at grandma's house with my cousins was always my favourite part of the school holidays. So yes, I was excited and I felt like a kid again. Growing up I used to love eating chocolate mousse, it was just beautiful. So a milo and yoghurt mousse came straight to mind. Smooth, rich and light. However milo itself isn't overly sweet and the yoghurt will make the mousse rather tart. So I thought it needed something to even out the flavour. Like lemon compliments tequila, strawberries compliment chocolate. So I thought a sweet strawberry compote would work well. In terms of visuals, I needed somethin...

Thai meatballs

Image
I think meatballs are one of the most diverse dishes of all time - cooked in tomato sauce in Italy and Greece, wrapped in flatbread in Turkey, served in hot soup in Vietnam or covered in gravy in Sweden. When done well, they are moist, delicious and a great cheap eat. When done badly they are dry and tasteless.  Lending itself to so many different creations, I like to experiment with the humble meatball. For this dish you can use traditional coconut milk however for a tangy and creamy twist, you can use yoghurt. Go with your gut.  Ingredients: 500g pork or beef 1/2inch of ginger, grated 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon of crushed lemongrass 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons of coriander 1 red chili (small or ½ big chili – remove seeds if you don’t like spice) ½ teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon flour 1 tablespoons of thai paste (you can use green curry paste if you like or follow the below recipe) 3/4 cup of chicken stock ½ ...

Chocolate peanut butter balls

Image
We were going to visit family for morning tea when I had a moment of panic and realised I had nothing to take. In these situations no bake bites are my go to. They are easy, simple and need very few ingredients. Whatever is in the pantry, you can put in a mixing ball with some melted butter and chocolate and you have a quick sweet treat. That day, I was wanting to feel like a kid again so looked for ingredients that would conjure up fond childhood memories. That ingredient for me is peanut butter. Peanut butter with honey on toast was my weekend indulgence. I loved the sweet and salty combination.  So with almond biscuits in the pantry and an abundance of peanut butter at my disposal I got to work. This week’s blog recipe is chocolate peanut butter balls. What you make with things from the pantry.
