Recipe of Vegetable cake (use).
Vida Recetas Editorial
The vegetable cake (also known as vegetable pie or vegetable loaf) is an easy, economical, and delicious recipe, perfect for using up those vegetables you have in the fridge that need to be eaten. This savory cake is ideal as a light main course, a nutritious dinner, or even for a picnic. Its origins lie in traditional make-do cooking, where simple ingredients are combined to create tasty and comforting dishes.
In this version, leeks, zucchini, carrots, and broccoli are sautéed with a touch of olive oil and mixed with a creamy base of eggs and cream, seasoned with nutmeg and pepper. Diced Serrano ham adds a rich flavor and a perfect contrast to the softness of the vegetables. The result is a moist interior with a golden exterior, a dish the whole family will love.
This recipe is very versatile: you can adapt it to whatever vegetables you have on hand and serve it either hot or cold. If you're vegetarian, you can simply omit the ham. Without a doubt, a healthy and flavorful option that will become a staple in your kitchen.
