Zucchini Crust, for pies and bakes

(from amylicious’s recipe box)

I find many meals a little too stodgy, with lots of bread, flour and meat involved in pretty much all of them. This crust is quite a nice way to lay a foundation without all the stodge

Ingredients

  • 2 cups scrubbed and coarsely grated zucchini (aka courgette)
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 T 100% pure, cold-pressed olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder, or a clove of finely chopped garlic

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 170 celsius (350 fahrenheit)

  2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl

  3. Spoon mixture into a greased, 8-inch pie dish

  4. Usually you bake this with other ingredients for about 30-40 minutes, but if for some reason you were making it separately, it would probably take about 20 minutes – just check the consistency. If your ingredients are very wet, you might want to put the zucchini crust in the oven for 10 minutes first
