Spinach and mushroom quiche by Veggie Diva

quiche by veggie diva

The best part of this quiche is the lovely deep base which is gluten free. The seeds give it a lovely nutty crunchiness.

Base

100g Almond flour

150g Rolled oats

100g Butter – melted

3 Tbsp Poppy seeds

3 Tbsp Sesame seeds

100g Crushed pecan nuts/walnuts

1 Tbsp Honey

Salt, pepper

Filling

1 x Garlic glove

1 x Red onion

1 x Packet mushrooms

2 x Handfuls spinach

6 x Eggs

250ml Cream

100g Goats cheese crumbled

Salt, pepper

  To make the base, mix together all the ingredients in a bowl. Line a spring form tin with baking paper. Starting from the centre, press the mixture evenly into the base and up the sides of the tin. Prick with a fork then place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180∞C.

  Place the tin in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Set aside to cool.

  For the filling, heat the oil in a large pan and gently cook the onion until soft but not coloured, toss in the garlic and mushrooms for 3 minutes. Spoon into the tart case, then add the spinach leaves, crumbled goats cheese. Add the eggs to a jug and beat with a fork, add the cream and goat milk cheese with a good grind of salt and black pepper. Slowly pour over the vegetables. Place the tart back in the oven and cook for 35 minutes or until the filling is just set in the middle.

  Leave to cool for 15 minutes then remove the sides of the tin.

  Serve with a fresh green salad.

Innovation – What Survives Is What Learns

The termite mound had been breached by an African honey badger. The excavation bore the characteristic signature of its typically furious, single-minded digging, a cone of loose red soil fanned out across the surrounding ground. The mound itself, a two-metre column of compacted earth on the edge of a drainage line in the Sabi Sand, had a jagged opening at its base roughly the size of a football.

A Year of Bird Song: Celebrating the Big Year of African Sounds

I have spent much of my birding journey fortunate enough to listen for birds before I see them. Long before a Narina Trogon reveals its almost incomprehensible palette of colours, its harsh, frog-like call often gives it away. Long before you begin to realise that summer has arrived, the duet of a Woodland Kingfisher pair echoes through the woodland. Their arrival marking the true onset of summer. For anyone who has spent time birding, sound is not a supplement to birding. Rather, it is often the first, only, and most reliable clue that nature presents you with.
