Recipe: Raw Courgette (Zucchini) omelette

Zucchini omelette

I like vegetable omelettes and I wanted to recreate them without all the connected frying and sogginess.

I picked up a gigantic courgette from my garden, mixed it with a few things, dried it… and it tastes better than a traditional omelette!!!

My kids saw me eating it for breakfast and wanted to try it…. and the whole thing went in 3 or 4 minutes!

I am stunned… I will definitely make this again! Yahooo!

So… for you brave chefs…here it is.

Zucchini omelette

Ingredients

grated zucchini (1-2 cups) - I used the food processor grating blade for this

a bit of wholemeal flour, probably about to make it so it's not too thin

3 or 4 tbsp of ground flax seeds (leftover from dried onion rings)

a bit of sage and onion mix (the one used for stuffing in the UK)

tiny amount of salt

Preparation:

Mix the above ingredients to obtain a loose mixture, but not too watery. Place it on a non stick tray in the dehydrator. Spread it well with a spoon - if it breaks it's too watery. Don't make it thin as you would do for roll ups. Dehydrate for about 3 hours, then check how much it's needed and stop when you like the result. It should look exactly like a soft, set and yummy omelette. The taste is much more sweet and intense than the real omelette. (In fact the day before I divided the dough in two and I cooked a real omelette with an egg with the first batch, to taste the difference). I can say honestly that this is it: I can now create more omelettes with any veggies and a small amount of flour.....and the flour will be still "uncooked".

I have taken a photo just before eating the last bite. Looks yucky.....next time I will take a better pix! :)

The photo on the left shows the spread out mixture on the tray ready to 'cook'. On the side I placed a few paper thin slices of zucchini. I also prepared a tray just of zucchini slices, paper thin, on a non-stick surface, oiled lightly to avoid getting stuck.

After a few hours I obtained crisp and tasty zucchini chips which my kids and I munched speedily. I like the ones in oil better but they are both FAB!!!!!!!!!!! Will definitely make them again.

How to heal from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs!

How a friend healed from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs! About a week ago I went to my local supermarket and I noticed that the till assistant had a sling on his bandaged middle finger. I am curious by nature , so I couldn't help asking him what happened to his finger. Carl, that was his name, promptly showed me and my daughter his finger (after taking off bandage and sling of course). To have an idea of what it looked like, have a look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia It looks painful, doesn't it? He said that when he was watching a football on TV, he didn't realise that his nail-biting had gone a bit over the limit, and he had torn some flesh. His doctor was about to see him in two days, he reassured me, and he probably expected to be given antibiotics to treat the infection. Not happy with what I saw, I suggested a few herbs that could help him earlier than his G.P. appointment. However, once I got hom

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel - and fighting rabbits! (video included)

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel I'm having great fun in my 12.5 mt long polytunnel. Not only I get to see my plants thrive in almost 39C during sunny days, but I fight some cute rabbits every day as they dig under the doors and destroy my cauliflower and boccoli plants! I'm not a professional gardener or photographer, but I hope you will enjoy my basic photos of plant life in the hottest spot of my garden. You will also see that we captured a baby rabbit who was guilty of untold damage and a then we released it (he was sooo cuddly!) But 2 weeks later, we caught him again and this time we released it in a park nearby (full of other rabbits, water etc) so he can eat plenty of produce - just not ours! A video is available on the bottom of this page. The first night we moved the strawberries outdoors, they were not protected, and the morning after the rabbits had eaten most of the plants - leaves and all! Needless to say, we rushed to build a protected U-shap
