New to the group and recipe

[Guest guest]

I am new to this group and am looking forward to adding some new recipes to my

favorites.

I have one that I want to share. It has cheese in it so if you don't eat

cheese, you could leave it out.

Summer Squash Tart

 

2 T olive oil

1 zucchini

1 yellow squash

1 med. onion sliced

1 red bell pepper sliced (or green or yellow pepper, but red is sweetest)

1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme

1 clove garlic chopped

black pepper

1 refrigerated pie crust(from a box of 2)

1/2 C feta cheese plus a little more to put on top

1 plumb tomato sliced and seeds removed

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Saute the onion, bell pepper, garlic, zucchini

and squash until onions are golden but not brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from

the heat and add oregano or thyme and pepper to taste. Cool to room temp.

Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the

pie crust onto the paper. Sprinkle the feta cheese in the center of the pie

crust within 2 inches of the edge. Pile the veggie mixture on top of the feta.

Fold and pleat the edges of the crust over the edges of the filling, leaving the

center uncovered. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until crust is golden brown.

Sprinkle some extra cheese on top and let cool a bit before serving.

 

I hope you like this as much as I did.

That sounds great!

 

Be careful about refrigerated pie crusts, though. I don't know of one that

doesn't contain lard. Some of the frozen ones do not contain lard. The Betty

Crocker pie crust mix in a box is lard-free, but Jiffy's pie crust mix does

contain lard. I have a good pie crust recipe I'll try to remember to post

this evening (when I'm not supposed to be getting ready for work!)

Thanks for the warning. Mine didn't have any but I never would have thought to

check other brands.
