stirly-girly;1225300 wrote: Zennie-butt, I have been meaning for some time now to post this recipe for KTAB and for anyone else who might be interested. The world's easiest zucchini and feta pie. I use small zucchini as they will give you more flavour. About 4" long and 1" across. Don't peel them. Grate them on a medium sized grater. This is for a 9" round pan - you can use a larger pan and therefore more phyllo sheets and adjust your ingredients accordingly.

5 sheets of thin phyllo pastry (the kind used for baclava)
EVOO
2 cups grated zucchini
2 large eggs
1 cup crumbled feta
Chopped fresh dill to taste.
1 cup milk
Salt
2-3 tbsp of hard cheese grated (I use kefalotiri. It's the Greek equivalent of parmesan)

Oil the pie pan with EVOO
Scrunch the sheets up, spreading them out evenly so they look like this -

Drizzle a little EVOO over them. Put the rest of ingredients except the hard cheese in a bowl and mix well. Salt to taste. Cover the phyllo sheets with the mixture. Top with the grated cheese.

Bake in preheated oven at 180C (not air) for about 45 minutes or until browned on top. Best served warm.

I have an even easier recipe for a feta cheese pie but it's one that has to be eaten right away. It gets rubbery after it's cooled. Mind you, we usually eat it so fast that it doesn't have time to cool.

Owwww thanks, I am sooo cooking that, what do you have with it, a tomato salad maybe?

Hi Molly, got a big fire going and the place is toasty and dinner is nearly ready. I have just been down the road and yes I can confirm it is cold. An arctic wind is coming down from the north they said on the tv.

Good evening been out and about today sorting out Christmas. My daughter who came home from Dubai yesterday has to have her wisdom teeth out in hospital tomorrow so could be a stressful time as her 2 year old has not been left overnight before.
Will read back now!
Well done Gabby Cow

and finally --- how the feck did you gobby/gabby mare/cow move from the north pole to Florida --- holy shit, that must have been a culture (weather)shock for a while!!

Kinda like moving from winter temps of down to -25C to today's temp here of 18C and to a country where the language isn't even written in the modern Roman alphabet. Weather, culture, and language shock all rolled into one.

Hiya Mrs. A and KTAB!!

For sure, are planning on bringing the clan though?

Re fires I fitted one of those cast iron ones in the new house and they are flipping brilliant. Seems like ten times the heat and a third of the fuel used compared to the open fire I had in our old cottage.

Oh, that fire sounds so good. I'd love a fireplace but the layout of the living-dining room area is not fireplace friendly.:upset:

Well actually I had the fireplace built to suit the stove cause I bought it before I had the house built. I had it built a foot off of the floor and got light fawn reclaimed bricks, a black limestone hearth and a large piece of really old oak for the mantle piece.

Pingu dont buy a stanley knife will ya.
