Something to try at home

I do all the cooking at my place and I don't mind saying that I do ok. Last year I obtained a blank hardbound book and started to write my own recipes in it. I'm up to 7 unique Adam made recipes. I can't put my hand on my heart and say they are truly original but I haven't copied them from anywhere. I'd be very surprised if someone, somewhere hasn't cooked what I have made.

Anyway here's the first recipe from my, as yet, unfinished and unpublished book.

Carrot Cake for Dinner (Vegetarian)
Ingrediants
  • 1 grated carrot
  • 1 grated zuchini
  • 440g creamed corn
  • Clove of crushed garlic
  • half teaspoon of cumin
  • quarter pumpkin (cooked and mashed)
  • 5 eggs
  • 4 soft tortillas
  • 1 cup of grated Cheese of your choice (mozzarella or tasty is good)
    Method
  • Combine carrot, zuchini, corn, cumin , garlic in a bowl.
  • Combine eggs and cooled pumpkin mash
  • In a round oven proof dish (I use a spring form pan) layer the ingrediants in the following way (starting at the bottom); tortilla, half pumpkin mash, half carrot mix, tortilla, half cheese then repeat - ending up with two layers of ingrediants.
  • Put in 190 degree oven for 40 mins and there you have it! Goes well with cous cous.




Let me know if anyone tries it and what they thought!
