We are in the Black Forest in Germany since one month now, freshly back from one of the sunniest country in the world and since then we have rain, rain, rain! But it has its charm afterall, all this green coming with it, it is really amazing. From all our windows we can see green. From where I am typing I see through the kitchen window, a sea of foliage waving harmoniously. We are so lucky to live in such a place!
And since I am not working full-time anymore and since the kids are at my parents'home for few days, I have some time to prepare a healthy lunch for my husband ( who has to work to allow me all this free time:) )
I love bread with seeds and I thought why not a quiche dough with seeds. I included a mix of different seeds in my basic quiche (salted tart) dough.
Here is the recipe for a small quiche:
- 150 g of flour
- 1egg
- 50g cold butter
- 2 tablespoons of seeds
- some salt and herbs
Mix everything together and add some cold water if the dough is too dry. Make a ball with the dough and keep in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
During this time, pour one tablespoon of olive oil in a deep pan on medium heat, cut some oignons and garlic then cook them slowly up to the time that they are getting slightly brown.
Add a mix of vegetables cut in small pieces. I used the ones in our fridge ( zucchini, spinach, cabbage, carrot, red pepper, dried tomatoes).
Cook them for 10 minutes and let them cool down.
Beat two eggs with approximately 100ml milk with salt, pepper and some curry powder.
Preheat the oven at 180 °. Spread the dough and cover with it the bottom of your pie plate.
Pour the vegetable preparation on it and pour the egg mixture on top of evrything. Let it cook in the oven for approximately 30 minutes when you see that the dough is becoming brown and crusty.
For a healthy and tasty meal, I packed it in a lunch box with lettuce leaves with tomatoes, some nuts and cranberries and a walnut oil, balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard home made sauce (by the way Dijon is where I am originally from so it is difficult for me to make a salad sauce without mustard but I noticed that in numerous countries the Dijon mustard has really nothing to do with the real one and is for me rather disgusting. The Dijon mustard is not sweet and is quite hot so depending where you are maybe rather take English mustard. Anyway this is according to taste). Bon Appetit!
