Ingredients:
  • Olive oil, to grease
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, halved, finely chopped
  • 100g pancetta slices, chopped
  • 55g (1/3 cup) pine nuts
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
  • 3 medium (about 350g) green zucchini, ends trimmed, coarsely grated
  • 4 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) milk
  • 30g (1/3 cup) shredded parmesan
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat oven to 180°C and brush a 22cm square cake pan with oil and line with non-stick baking paper. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. 3. Add onion, pancetta, and pine nuts. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until onion is soft and pine nuts are toasted. 4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
  • In a large bowl, sift the flour, then mix in the onion mixture and zucchini. Create a well in the center. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, parmesan, feta, and remaining oil. Season with pepper, then pour this mixture into the well and stir until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve with salad.
