Fresh Herb and Zucchini Pie - recipe by Amy Casey

Fresh Herb and Zucchini Pie

Delicious recipe by Amy Casey

It does not matter how many times some recipes are made; they are always a welcome sight around the dinner table. Fresh Herb and Zucchini Pie is one such recipe that I know my family and friends love. So much so that I make 2 pies to ensure I have a leftover slice or two in the refrigerator for a late night snack or quick lunch. The pie screams of summer with verdant zucchini, parsley and oregano fresh from a farmers’ market or backyard garden and baked with creamy cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and fresh from the farm eggs.

When serving a simple entrée of grilled chicken, steak or fish, I like to include a flavor packed side dish that is the centerpiece of the meal. Fresh Herb and Zucchini Pie is one such accompaniment. As not to be tied to the kitchen, it can be made up to a day in advance and reheated in the oven or served at room temperature. The pie also makes for a filling yet light lunch when paired with a salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers tossed with red wine vinaigrette.

BASIL, RED BASIL, BASILICUM - fresh herbs from Israel

Basil

Basil* is commonly used fresh in cooked recipes. In general, it is added at the last moment, as cooking quickly destroys the flavor. The fresh herb can be kept for a short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for a longer period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water. The dried herb also loses most of its flavor, and what little flavor remains tastes very different, with a weak coumarin flavor, like hay.
Basil is one of the main ingredients in pesto - a green Italian oil-and-herb sauce. Its other main ingredients are olive oil, garlic, and pine nuts. The most commonly used Mediterranean basil cultivars are "Genovese", "Purple Ruffles", "Mammoth", "Cinnamon", "Lemon", "Globe", and "African Blue". The Chinese also use fresh or dried basils in soups and other foods. > more
