A recent favorite: Broccoli Squares



I'm finding lots of great uses for the Organic Broccoli Slaw (shredded broccoli and carrots, available in 12 oz bags).  The latest is a nice healthy baked dish that my whole family loved.   It's a cross between a quiche and a casserole.  I cut it into squares and serve alongside the main dish.  Between the 4 of us, the entire recipe was gone in one sitting.

You don't have to use the bagged slaw at Trader Joe's, but it sure makes it convenient.  If you like, just substitute about 3 cups of your own shredded broccoli stems or zucchini (also delicious!) mixed with 1 cup shredded carrots. 

Broccoli Squares

1 bag (12 oz) Organic Broccoli Slaw
4 eggs
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt
1 clove garlic (or 1-2 cubes frozen garlic, thawed)
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan
1 cup Buttermilk Pancake and All Purpose Baking Mix (or 1 cup Bisquick)
Sesame seeds (optional)

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl.  Add herbs, oil, salt, and garlic to the bowl and combine.
3) Saute onions until soft.  Add onions, Parmesan, and slaw to the bowl and mix thoroughly.  Add baking mix and mix again. 
4) Put mixture in an oiled oblong baking dish or an oiled 8x8-inch square baking dish, and evenly spread mixture in dish.  Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds.
5) Bake for 35 minutes or until top is turning golden brown. 


Just a note:  If you're not a baking-mix/Bisquick person (or you're like me and forgot to plan ahead), it's actually pretty easy to wing your own.  Just mix together about 1 cup of white flour and 1 Tbsp of baking powder and 1 tsp sugar, then add 1/4 cup of oil and mix till it's a corn meal consistency.  That's close enough, and you'll be set for this recipe!

    I'm LOVING the broccoli slaw too! Even the recipe on the bag is yummy, with walnuts and dried cranberries---I've brought it to a few parties and it was always a hit. Something different and fun....

    I had some zucchini on hand, so I made this with zucchini and it was delicious. Even my zucchini-hating husband gobbled it up. Five stars!
