Courgette & Parmesan Bake (Serves 6) This recipe is very 'user friendly' and works well with root veg like carrots or parsnips or a mixture of both with the courgettes. Just don't try and add any stronger flavoured herbs or spices - it detracts from the freshness and flavour of the vegetables. 4 oz plain Wholemeal Flour - 4 large Free-Range Eggs 4 fl oz light Olive Oil 12 oz green or yellow Courgettes, grated 2 1/2 oz Vegtarian Parmesan Cheese, grated tablespoon Fresh Thyme leaves or teaspoon dried Sea Salt and ground Black Pepper Sift flour into mixing bowl, making sure you also add any bran that is left in the seive after sifting, and add thyme, salt and pepper and make a well in the centre. In a another bowl, measure in the oil and eggs, then beat until well mixed and gradually whisk into flour. Add grated courgettes and parmesan and mix together using a metal spoon until really well mixed. Put mixture into a baking dish - I use a round one that is 9" across and 1" deep. Place on middle shelf in pre-heated oven - 375F/180C - for around 35 - 40 mins until golden brown and firm. Allow to stand for around half an hour before serving - nice with a crunchy baked potato and salad.
