Savoury Vegetable Loaf
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 35 minutes | Makes: 10-12 slices
This is a bit of a mix between a loaf and a quiche – it's sooo good!
1 medium broccoli, cut into florets
1 medium zucchini, cut into chunks
1 medium red capsicum, de-seeded and cut into chunks
a large handful of fresh herbs e.g rosemary, thyme, parsley or basil
120g ground almonds
1 T psyllium husks
1 T chia seeds
3 T coconut flour
3 eggs
40 g grated parmesan or 3 T nutritional yeast flakes if DF
a good grinding of salt and pepper
pumpkin seeds for the top
Preheat oven to 200 C. Line an oven tray with a baking sheet or baking paper. Place the broccoli, zucchini and capsicum into the mixing bowl and mix 5 seconds, speed 6. Add the rest of the ingredients and with the aid of the spatula, mix 5 seconds/reverse/speed 3, repeat until evenly mixed.
If the mixture is too wet, add more coconut flour. Tip out onto prepared oven tray and mould into a loaf shape with your hands. Press some pumpkin seeds into the top of the loaf and bake at 200˚C for 35-40 minutes or until firm to touch.
Nice served warm with butter or coconut oil or cut into slices and toasted. Once cool, store in the fridge or suitable to freeze in slices.
