Steadier footing.

(In Portuguese)


March 1st was  for me a day to celebrate new and old things, both very important.

I worked hard, had a delicious dinner at an Italian restaurant, and today is a day to tidy up the house.

So here goes a simple lunch, which stays in the oven while I organize things around my place.

Vegetables pie (adapted from here)

1/2 butternut squash

1/2 sweet potato

1 small zucchini

1 carrot

1 beet

1 small onion

4 eggs

150g white fresh cheese

Olive oil, as needed

Salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, as needed

I peeled and sliced thinly all of the vegetables, and spread them in a baking sheet,

covering them with a little olive oil.

I baked it in pre-heated oven at 180oC for 30 minutes, until tender.

Then I processed the eggs and cheese in the blender, seasoning with

1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of grated nutmeg.

I put the vegetables in a baking tray, in layers, e poured over the egg mixture,

poking with a knife to make sure there would be no air bubbles.

I baked for 50 minutes and let cool inside the oven for 10 minutes before taking

it out (to avoid mess with my glass baking tray, which wasn't 100% oven safe).

I let it cool 10 more minutes before removing the pie from the mold,

the I ate it.
