    One of my friends is allergic to wheat and she has become a vegetarian.  I was super excited to have her for dinner for a little girly chit-chat since we do not see each other that often!  But wow... she had me challenged!  That was great actually, I came up with a new recipe and she got really impressed.

    I decided to share my little secret as you may have a vegetarian friend too and trust me this  tart will be enjoyed.

    For my friend, I had prepared small vegetable tarts on a quinoa crust.  I was quite simple, tasty and it looked nice.

     Suggestions:

    • I added a drizzle of olive oil and herbes de Provence, I just love that.
    • You can serve it as an appetizer, with a soup or a salad.

    Are you going to prepare it for the vegetarian in your life or yourself?  Let me know if you did!

    Author: Mélanie

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup quinoa
    • 3 eggs
    • 500 ml water
    • 6 tablespoon mustard
    • 3 zucchinis
    • 1 red pepper
    • ½ cup grated cheese of your choice
    • Salt to taste

    Instructions

    • In a pot, pour the water, once it is boiling, add the quinoa. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until tender. Allow to cool down.
    • In a bowl, beat the eggs, add salt and pepper to taste. Add the quinoa, previously drained. Mix. Spread a thick layer in your individual molds (mine are like mini cheesecake molds).
    • On each of them, spread a spoon of mustard - I prefer whole grain mustard ''A l'ancienne''.
    • Wash your zucchinis and slice them thin. Put them on your quinoa crust.
    • Cut your red pepper in brunoise and distribute them on your pie as a topping.
    • Add your grated cheese. On this one, I did not put any cheese, but the first time I did it I added crumbles of goat cheese.
    • Cook in the oven 15-20 minutes at 400F.
