No-waste veggie drawer loaf
American 15 Mins Prep · 50 Mins Cook
- Grate the courgettes then place in a fine sieve. Sprinkle over the salt flakes and toss. Allow to stand for 10 minutes then squeeze out excess liquid.
- Fill a kettle with water and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, chop the green leaves then place in a sieve. Pour over the boiling water. Immediately cool under cold running water. Squeeze out excess water from greens. (If using frozen spinach, simply thaw, then squeeze out excess liquid.)
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line an 11cm x 21½cm loaf pan with baking paper, allowing an overhang on the long sides.
- Place the courgette, blanched leaves, herbs, onion and cheese in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the yoghurt, eggs and oil and stir to combine.
- Place the flour and paprika in a medium-sized bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add to the courgette mixture and stir until just combined. Spoon into the tin.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Stand for 10 minutes, then using the extra baking paper, lift out the loaf.
- Serve warm.
