Yummy Risotto Pie

I made this pie this evening... and it was SOOOO good that I had to share. For the record, I'm vegetarian... but for the time being, still consume eggs and dairy. This gluten free vegetarian dish contains both, so it's lacto-ovo.

My husband even liked it.... so, I consider it a HUGE success!! =)

I got the recipe from The Gluten Free Vegetarian Kitchen by Donna Klein.

Zucchini Risotto with Rosemary and Marinara

* 1 1/2 cups arboria rice

* 2 tblns extra-virgin olive oil

* 2 large onions, finely chopped

* 3 medium zucchini, chopped

* 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary (or 1 tablespoon dried)

* 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped

* salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

* 3 eggs, lightly beaten

* 3/4 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese

* 1/4 cup skim milk (I used rice milk, because I don't drink cows milk....)

* 3 cups gluten free marinara sauce

* Fresh Rosemary sprigs (optional)

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease 10-inch quiche dish or pie plate.

In a large stockpot filled with boiling salted water, boil rice for 8 minutes and drain well.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook - stirring until softened. Add zucchini, 2 tablespoons of the rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Add rice, eggs, 1/2 cup of the cheese, and milk to the skillet; mix well to thoroughly combine. Transfer to pie plate. Bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes, or until set and beginning to brown. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the marinara sauce and remaining rosemary to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

To serve, cut the pie into 6 equal pieces. Ladle equal portions of marinara onto each of 6 serving plates and top with a piece of pie. Serve at once, garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.

(6 main-dish size servings, or 8 side-dish servings)

*Lacto-0vo.

Mine too, I just love it. Of course, I was accused of "overdoing it" with this recipe, but hey.... it was called for, imo! =)

Oh yum!! I love risotto! Too bad I would be the only one who would eat that in our house! The rest of my fam won't touch zucchini. :(

If you chop it up really small.... would they even know it was there?? =)

I didn't peel mine first...and I left it in rather large chunks, so it was easy to see. However, if you peeled it... and chopped it, they'd never know. I have a pic of it on my "foodie blog" - I took it when it came right out of the oven. Have a peek! goodnessandgoodies.blogspot.com

They used to serve rosemary roasted potatos at the kitchen where I used to work EVERY SINGLE DAY so I don't like rosemary anymore. Sigh....

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      By GardeningForHealth · Posted

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      By GardeningForHealth · Posted

      I mostly eat healthy. My diet has varied over the past 10 years but mostly consisted of meals I cooked at home made from scratch. Ingredients I used over the years include (not in order): non-wheat grains such as teff, sorghum, millet, and eggs, butter, cheese, some milk, meat (poultry, red meat, but very little processed meat), gluten-free baked bread (mostly Canyon Bakehouse brand), vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, peanuts, chocolate (not in the past 6 months). However, the mistakes I made in my diet are that I consumed too much sugar and carbohydrates from gluten-free baked goods that I baked myself at home such as gluten-free dessert items, and also I ate pretty much the same exact meals over and over, so a great lack of diversity in what I ate. I got lazy. I think this messed up my microbiome. The meals I ate were mostly healthy though. I always made sure to eat vegetables and fruits on a daily basis.  I have checked for nutrient deficiencies over the years and I am sometimes low in Vitamin D. I started supplementing it after that. What concerns me is the progressive nature of the food intolerances, which indicates the gut is not healing and has been leaking all along.

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.
