Chocolate & Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen

By Clotilde Dusoulier
Broadway Books - 2007

ok, i once again cheated and used ready made pastry as im a scardey cat when it comes to making it myself. this was a really nice flavoured quiche, lovely with salad as suggested. my quiche however had no chance to go "wobbly in the middle" as it promtly shot up like a souffle in the middle. it did however sink again to look more like a quiche, but definatly no wobble. also not quite enough filling but that could be due to me not rolling out the pastry thin enough.

Im gonna admit that i cheated and used tinned beans. this was so simple to make using those and a hand held blender. I served this alongside some chicken and it was a lovely little side dish, i did have to fiddle with the measures given though, using more oil to get a pesto consistency that i liked. Oh and more lemon juice too.
