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 publish a book with Amazon Create Space

How do you self publish a book? I am asked this question quite often now, soI have decided to put my little experience in writing to help you out. Here is the link you want: https://www.createspace.com/ I worked out lots of information after signing as much of the info only comes out after having a title etc and going through the whole process.
