Zucchini and Quinoa Tian
A tian is a dish originating from Provence which usually includes layered vegetables. This is my own version adapted so it can make a complete meal. I use quinoa but you can use pretty much any other wholegrain. You'll just have to adapt the cooking time.
Ingredients
Serves: 2
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 medium zucchini, sliced 5mm thick
- 150g quinoa
- 1 garlic clove, diced
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 eggs
- 200ml cream
- 50g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 50g Cheddar cheese, grated

- Heat oil in a frypan, add the zucchini and cook until slightly tender.
- Add the quinoa and garlic then simmer covered for 20 minutes. Season to taste. Quinoa will cook from the juices of the zucchini. Add a bit of water if you think there is not enough liquid.
- In a separate bowl mix eggs, cream and grated cheeses.
- Once the zucchini-quinoa mix has cooked, put the mix in a gratin dish and pour the egg mixture of top.
- Bake in a preheated 200 degrees C oven for 25 minutes, or until set and golden.

I will make this again. I added turmeric to the egg mixture. Next time I will add some cumin to the egg mixture as well. - 04 Jun 2016
