How many knuckles does it take to make a great slice? Three to be exact....well today anyway. With band-aids in place I continued grating until all the veg were done. Who knew a few pieces of skin could make such a delicious slice. Seriously though; there was no skin added, but I've never added choko to a slice before. With only two young zucchini I needed to increase the mixture. Hence another use for a Choko or three.
Zucchini & Choko Slice
8 medium eggs whisked well
add to that 2/3 cup of Olive Oil
then mix in 1 heaped cup of Wholemeal Self Raising Flour
mix well and put aside.
Now in another larger bowl grate the following:
2 zucchini
2 choko
1/2 a carrot
1/2 a sweet potato
1 cup of tasty cheese
then finely chop 1 brown onion & a small bunch of parsley
Mix all this together, then add the egg mixture and stir well.
After pouring into two trays,....if your like me you might just have some mixture left over...so if you do...add another egg, a tablespoon or so of flour, and add in another grated choko....then you will not only have two large slices, but enough slice baked for lunch.

Grease your trays well, then bake in a moderate oven of 170o C for 20 minutes for the small ones...and an extra 15 to 20 minutes for the larger baking trays. It was a delicious surprise for mum when she returned from Bingo today.I have enough to serve for dinner tonight, and one for the freezer. Yummmmm!
Have you ever added choko to a slice?
Please forgive the poor quality of the photos today, I guess my camera was having a bad day and maybe I need to refresh my rechargeable batteries.
yum looks delicious! really wish my garden was a little more productive!! :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, that looks yummy - I empathize with your knuckle situation, though, as I have done the same thing more times than I like to admit!
ReplyDeleteI have never used a choko, which I think is called chayote in these parts, and is somewhat exotic! Summer squashes in general, and potatoes, do get baked or fried in with eggs, though. I like the sweet potato element...must try that!
I am one of the visitors of your site. I hope you will show more such material or data to put in our use.
ReplyDeleteLooking for a choko slice recipe, since zucchinis (imported) are so expensive here in Vanuatu, I found this page. I made the slice with just chokos (and the other things - carrot, onion etc.) and no zucchinis. I realised later too that I'd forgotten the sweet potato..... and we have so many! Still it turned out fine. I added lots of my favourite herb, coriander, some green onions, bit of salt & pepper, it's great, if a little bland for some of us. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me do you peel the choko before grating it.
