Except that this year the rainy season is rather dry so may be we will have zucchini for longer\u2026 that would be good!!! Maybe I won\u2019t have to struggle finding zucchini in the middle of summer to make a good pesto soup!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, at the moment I enjoy cooking them in various ways as long as I can find them. I cook them with my \u201ctraditional\u201d or classic <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/?s=Zucchini+\" target=\"_blank\">recipes<\/a> but I am also investigating new ways of cooking them. I found that zucchini and green beans go very well together and I came up with a few new nice recipes, super simple and easy to make as I am quite busy these days with several projects on the run\u2026 Let me share two recipes here today: a simple savory tart and a vegetable curry-rice. I hope you\u2019ll like them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Savory tart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5361\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-500x500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-1400x1400.jpg 1400w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/img_1148-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For the pie crust: 150g of flour, a pinch of salt, 3tbs of olive oil, water<\/li><li>2-3 zucchini depending of the size<\/li><li>A handful of green beans <\/li><li>150g of ricotta or cottage cheese<\/li><li>Fresh basil<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare the dough as usual, and roll it for your pie dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash the vegetables. Slice thinly the zucchini (with a mandolin if you have one) and set on the dough. Cut the green beans to 2-3cm long pieces and add on top. Crumble the ricotta or the cottage cheese, chop the basil and sprinkle on top. Bake 40min at 180deg or until golden.

Cut them in bite size. In a pan greased with a bit of oil add the vegetables. Cook for 5 min at high heat then lower to medium. Add the spices. Cook another 5-10 min until you obtain the level of moisture you want. Personally I like rather soupy so that the rice can suck it in. Serve with the Japanese white rice and enjoy while hot.
