Zucchini Feta And Dill Pie Recipes
ZUCCHINI, FETA AND DILL PIE
This is a Belinda Jeffery recipe. This such simple recipe, fantatic served on a summer's night with a lovely salad. It is wonderful served at room temperature and I think is even better the next day after the flavour's develop. I must admit the cooking time is a little tricky, mine took exactly 45 minutes, but I have included notes by Belinda Jeffery below. This recipe also makes a terrific nibble to serve with drinks. Just press more cherry tomatoes over the top so that you can cut the pie into little squares for serving so you end up with a tomato half on each square.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C Butter a 22cm square cake tin and line the base and sides with buttered baking paper. Dust the tin with the polenta, tap out the excess, and set tin aside.
- Pile the grated zucchini into a large sieve or colander, sit a plate on top to weigh it down a little and leave zucchini to drain really well.
- Break the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together. Add the oil, chives and dill, mint or basil and whisk them inches
- Press down firmly on the plate over the zucchini to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Stir the grated zucchini into the egg mixture. Crumble in most of the feta (reserving a little for the top of the pie) along with the parmesan, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the flour and mix in until it is combined (wearing disposable gloves and mixing by hand is good, as mixture gets quite thick). Spread the batter into the prepared tin and sprinkle the reserved feta over the top. Gently press the cherry tomato halves, cut side up, into the surface of the pie.
- Bake pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the top of the pie is springy when pressed. (It's a bit hard to know when it's cooked. Belinda Jeffery's suggests -- Her first attempt seemed ready after 30 minutes but when she took it out and let it cool a little she realised it was still squishy in the centre, so she put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes (thank goodness it's forgiving!). So when you think it's cooked, make sure the top is quite bouncy, and to double-check, insert the tip of a fine knife down into the middle and press the two sides of the cut apart - it should look quite set.
- When it's ready, take the pie out of the oven and cool it in the tin for 10 -15 minutes. If you're feeling game you can just gently grasp the baking paper and lift the pie out of the tin onto a serving plate, then slide the paper out from underneath. Or, put a wire rack on top and invert the pie onto the rack. Peel away the paper, then sit your serving platter on top of the pie and invert it again onto this. Tidy up any straggly bits and brush the tomatoes with a little oil. Scatter some mint leaves or sprigs on top and serve.

- Make the filling: Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat and set aside either in the sink or over a large bowl to catch the liquid that drains. Set aside for at least 30 minutes. Squeeze the zucchini with your hands to release as much of the liquid as possible. Place the strained zucchini in a large mixing bowl. Add all of the remaining filling ingredients except for the eggs and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add the eggs and mix well to combine.
- Assemble the pie: Brush the inside of a 10-inch round by 2 inches deep pie pan with melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs into the pan to create an even layer. Take a stack of 3 sheets of phyllo and place it in the pan to cover the bottom and let the rest of the stack hang over the side of the pan. If this was a clock, they would be hanging over around the 12:00 position. Drizzle butter over the top sheet. Take 3 more sheets and place them at the 3:00 position with most of the sheets inside the pan and the remaining hanging over the sides. Drizzle with lots of butter. Place three more sheets at the 6:00 position and drizzle with butter. Finally, 3 more sheets at the 9:00 position and drizzle with more butter. Place all of the filling inside of the phyllo and fold the phyllo that is hanging outside of the pan over the filling brushing butter in between the layers.
- Separate the remaining phyllo into 2 stacks and place one stack on top and tuck the sides in to create a border crust. Drizzle with butter. Place the remaining stack on top and tuck the extra phyllo into the sides of the pan. Cut the top layer into 8 pieces all the way down to the filling. Pour the remaining melted butter on top and brush all around.

- Grate the zucchinis with a hand grater (not too thin) and add to a strainer. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and massage the zucchinis for the salt to spread evenly. Let the grated zucchinis drain for half an hour. While the zucchinis drain remove the phyllo from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature without removing it from its package.
- Squeeze the zuchinnis to remove any excess water and add to a mixing bowl. Combine with the Greek yogurt, feta cheese, eggs, mint and 2 tablespoons of olive oil out of the 80 grams (keep the remaining oil for greasing the pan and phyllo). Season with a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper.
