Zucchini Crust Pizza

Recipe Ingredients

3 1/2 cups	829ml	Zucchini - coarsely grated
		Salt
1/3 cup	20g / 0.7oz	Flour
3		Eggs - lightly beaten
2/3 cup	97g / 3.4oz	Parmesan cheese - grated
2 tablespoons	30ml	Fresh basil - (2 to 3); minced
		- or- 1 tsp dried basil
		Salt and pepper
		Spaghetti sauce
		Your own toppings: peppers - onions,
		Mushrooms - anchovies

Recipe Instructions

Place zucchini in bowl and lightly salt. Let sit for 15 minutes and squeeze out all the water that is rendered. Roll in a towel and twist again. This is to remove all possible water.

Mix with rest of ingredients in a bowl. Spread on a well-oiled baking pan and bake in a 350F oven until top is dry and lightly browned (20 minutes). Brush a little oil on surface and broil a few minutes--but don't burn. Spread with spaghetti sauce, 1 cup mozzarella, and any toppings. You may, of coarse use your favorite cheeses. Return to oven and bake at 350F until done. About another 20 minutes.

I also just recently read that the smaller zucchini have the sweeter, better flavor.

This is from Mr. Newman's, Newman's Own Cookbook, and is a literary delight as well, as his sterling wit is evident.
