Courgette (Zuccini to Australians) Fetta filo pie.

 
There is always a feast or a famine with courgettes, because they are seasonal. This has to be one of the best things to do with courgettes when you have a glut of them. This recipe takes the delicate flavour, and value-adds flavour, texture and something else to make it memorable.
 

Ingredients

 
1.5kg courgettes, coarsely grated.
50ml olive oil
100 g grated parmesan
175 g crumbled fetta cheese
120ml white wine
1 small onion finely chopped
4 eggs
Salt and pepper
50 g butter
Filo pastry, defrosted but chilled (fridge)
50 g pine nuts
 
 

Method

 
Sweat the courgettes in the oil until they are cooked.
Drain off the excess liquid in a colander
Mix in the cheeses, wine, onion, and eggs. Stir in and season.
Melt the butter, and use it to brush the bottom and sides of a 23 x 33 cm dish.
Layer 4 sheets of filo pastry in the bottom of the dish, brushing each layer with butter.
Spread the filling on the filo pastry, and then put 5 sheets of filo on top, each also brushed with butter.
Scatter the pine nuts on top.
Cook for 35 minutes in a 190deg C oven.
