Is there anything better than a dinner that gets mixed up in one bowl, then pressed into one tin and cooks in one oven? Perhaps only the addition of Bono, sitting up on the benchtop in his onesie, belting out a little acapella version of ‘One’ while I sip one wee glass of vino while I’m wearing my onesie. That’d be nice, if a little weird.
If you’re free Bono, pop over tonight and we’ll whip this zucchini slice up together.
Just one piece.
Zucchini & rice slice (Gluten free)
There’s no smuggling going on here really, since pretty much the whole dish IS vegies. Smuggling vegies within vegies…
2 zucchinis, grated
1 carrot, peeled, grated
4 spring onions, finely sliced
125g can corn kernels, drained
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown) – I always make extra rice whenever I’m cooking a stir-fry, so I can make stuff like this the next day
2-3 tbsp fresh chives and/or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (plus extra for the top)
1/2 cup mild feta, crumbled
4 eggs, lightly whisked
Preheat the oven to 190C. Line a 20x30cm slice tin with baking paper.
In a large bowl, combine everything well. Press the mixture into the tin, top with a handful of grated cheese and bake for 30 minutes until set.
Serves 2 adults and 2 kids

It looks great but is there a recipe like this that I could make without so much cheese? I’d like to try it but my husband can’t tolerate all the cheese fat

sorry, without the flour you really need the egg and cheese to stick it together! Low fat cheese?

Do you NEED the feta in it?

No, you don’t need it, bit I like the tang – bit bland without. But kids kind of prefer bland sometimes, don’t they? Just add extra cheddar, instead.

Hi Wendy. This has become a favourite in our house! Can you point me in the direction of other recipes to use up leftover cooked rice? Thanks!

Going to try this tomorrow. Does it have to have garlic powder in it and the spring onions?
wendyblume said,
February 7, 2015 @ 7:34 am
No, but I think it’s a little bland without them.
