Gracie Diet Recipe: Zucchini Quiche

by Rorion Gracie filed under Recipes

Ingredients:

• 7 small zucchinis cut in thin and wide slices
• ½ cup of minced black olives (4 oz)
• 1 cube of vegetable broth
• ½ onion minced
• 3 cloves of garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 240 grams (8 oz) of wheat flour*
• 200 grams (7 oz) of margarine or butter

Making the filling:
Sauté the garlic and onion in the olive oil, add the vegetable broth, the zucchinis and the olives. Let it cook for 10 minutes. Remove from stove and let it cool.

Making the dough:
Combine wheat flower and butter. Mix it until the dough is smooth and even (the dough should have the consistency of damp beach sand), then spread it in a medium baking pan and let it bake in a preheated oven at 350˚ for approximately 30 minutes.

Preparation:
When the dough is baked, pour the filing into it. Sprinkle a bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top and place the dish back in the oven for 5 minutes. It’s done.

*This pie can also be made with rice or quinoa flour, in which case, for the same amount of flour (2 cups or 240 grams) you use less margarine or butter (5 oz or 150 grams).

*Remember to use only one kind of flour/starch per meal.
