Easy Steps to make Zucchini and Potato Savory Pie

Ingredients:

  • 3 zucchini
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 4 eggs
  • 100 ml milk
  • 60 ml olive oil for the dough
  • 120 g flour
  • 8 g baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Fresh parsley to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying

Directions:

  1. Wash the zucchini and slice it thinly. In a pan, heat a little olive oil, add finely chopped garlic, and sauté briefly. Add the zucchini, salt, and pepper. Fry for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally until it softens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Peel and wash the potatoes, then grate them and squeeze out the excess water. Slice the red onion into half-moons and the red pepper into thin strips.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk, olive oil, salt, pepper, and sugar, mixing well. Gradually add the flour mixed with baking powder, stirring until smooth. Add in finely chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Add the fried zucchini, grated potatoes, onion, and red pepper to the egg mixture. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 24-26 cm pan with olive oil or line it with baking paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Let the pie cool slightly before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a fresh salad or yogurt.
    Tip: For a more intense flavor, you can add grated cheese or spices like oregano before baking.
