ROAST VEGETABLE & FETA QUICHE WITH ONION MARMALADE


Serves 4 |a little effort | time taken, 2 hours

It's a great way to repurpose any left-overs and create your own combinations


For the short crust pastry:


  • 225g cake flour
  • 2ml salt
  • 2ml oregano or mixed dried herbs
  • 120g butter (salted or unsalted Ð personal preference)
  • 45-60ml ice cold water to bind


Method:


  • Sift the flour, salt & dried herbs into a large bowl
  • Cut the butter into small pieces and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbs
  • Mix the cold water with a pallet knife until the mixture binds to form a smooth soft dough
  • Place the dough into an air-tight container and allow to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling out
  • Blind baking the pastry:
  • Pre-heat oven to 200¡C
  • Once the pastry has rested, roll out on a floured surface no thicker than 3mm thick
  • Line a greased 25cm flan tin with pastry and prick with a fork
  • Line with foil and baking beans
  • Bake blind for about 10 minutes
  • Once baked, remove the baking beans and the foil and allow to cool




For the filling:


  • (Make the filling whilst the pastry is resting in the fridge to save time)
  • 1 large brinjal, cubed
  • 4 baby marrows, cut in half length ways and sliced
  • 1 small red pepper, de-seeded and diced
  • 1 small yellow pepper, de-seeded and diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 15ml vegetable seasoning of your choice (Robertson's or Ina Paarman's)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 Tblsp olive oil


Method:


  • Pre-heat oven to 180C
  • Place the brinjal in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and allow to stand for 20 minutes
  • Squeeze out excess liquids and drain
  • Add the remaining vegetables, garlic, seasoning and olive oil to the brinjals and coat evenly
  • Arrange on a roasting pan and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the brinjals are soft
  • Allow to cool
  • For the egg custard:
  • 8 large free-range eggs
  • 250ml cream or full cream evaporated milk
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 120g feta cheese, crumbled



Method:

  • Whisk the eggs with the cream and seasoning
  • Crumble the feta cheese into the egg mix
  • Assembling the quiche:
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180¡C
  • Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the blind-baked pastry case
  • Pour the egg custard over the vegetables
  • Bake for between 25-35 minutes or until the custard has set
  • Allow to cool slightly before removing from flan tray
  • Serve with a salad of your choice
