★300g peas
★1 small leek
★100g green beans
★150g carrots
★1/4 red bell pepper
★1/4 green (or yellow) bell pepper
★200g courgette (zucchini)
★4 eggs
★2dl cream
★50g grated cheese
★butter, salt and pepper
1. Turn the oven on to 180 °C. Wash the vegetables and cut them in small pieces. In a pot boil water with salt and a bit of pepper and as soon as it starts boiling add the vegetables and cook for 5-7 minutes. Drain well the water.
2. Beat the eggs together with the cream and the grated cheese. Season with salt (and some more pepper if you want) and add the vegetables. Beat all for a while and carefully, just to mix it in a better way.
-- You can choose whether you prefer small (like cupcakes) cake pan or a bigger one to contain all the cooking. Personally I took a big one since I only have a few small cupcake molds and I cooked the double.
3. Grease the surface of the cake pan with butter. Add the mixture in the cake pan and puts it in the oven using bain-marie (water bath). It consists of putting your cake pan with the mixture inside a bigger pan.That pan must contain water that will gently boil inside the oven and cook what is inside the cake pan with its heat. Cook for 30 minutes.
4. Take it out carefully and let it cool for a while. Unmold inverting the container over a serving plate and decorate it as you wish. It's ready.
-- You can be creative and remove or add vegetables you like/dislike. I forgot but I next time I will add mushrooms and olives! I doubled the ingredients because I know that most of the recipes from magazines are made to small portions. Here's a tasteful vegetarian recipe, also a healthy, easy and very very cheap to cook! I guess that I have spent close to 3€. I guess I never was very into culinary because I always thought that there is always one ingredient hard to find, or it is hard to cook and takes all our nerves to explode and so.
I'm considering the measures applied in my country (kg). If they are hard to understand please look for a system to convert to the measures applied to your country and try this recipe.
My kitchen assistant Hugo, with his help I should finish the custard tomorrow morning, he still would be cutting the green beans and asking "is this bit okay?", "and this?". (:

Looks yummy! I'll maybe try to make it:D But how am I supposed to do it without an assistant? Can I borrow him?;)
Mmm, delicious! I'll try it for sure :)
Aga If you plan to finish the custard in the next year you can borrow him, otherwise you better do it alone ;)
Thank you to all the other who commented so far and loved my yummy veggie custard!
