Corn and Cheese Pashtida (Crustless Quiche) image

We are a busy family and make simple, crustless quiches (pashtidas) all the time, using whatever vegetable we have in the fridge, tossing everything together in a bowl. Only the baking takes time. The leftovers keep in the fridge for several days and reheat beautifully. The recipe is easily adaptable to tastes and feeds several for lunch or dinner, alongside a salad.

My friend Rachel was visiting from Israel last week and made a delicious pashtida for us. Unfortunately, she left before I could get her recipe, though I will try to track it down. While looking for other pashtida recipes on the net, I chanced upon this one by Joan Nathan. Haven't tried it yet, but with these ingredients, how can it be bad? Let me know what you think.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pastry: There are many different types of pastry dough that can be used for pashtida, so it's important to choose one that will complement the filling. For example, a flaky puff pastry or phyllo dough is a good choice for a light and airy pashtida, while a shortcrust pastry is a good choice for a more dense and hearty pashtida.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The filling for a pashtida should be cooked until it is just tender, but not overcooked. Overcooked filling will be dry and tough.
  • Let the pashtida cool before slicing: This will help the pashtida to hold its shape and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Serve the pashtida with a variety of dipping sauces: This will allow your guests to choose the sauce that they like best. Some popular dipping sauces for pashtida include tzatziki sauce, hummus, and baba ghanoush.

Conclusion:

Pashtida is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables, and it is also a perfect dish to serve at a party or potluck. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a pashtida that everyone will enjoy.
