SWEET POTATO AND ZUCCHINI PIE

Ingredients.....300gm of chopped bacon pieces, 2 cups of quinoa grain, 2 cups of water, 2 tbs of oil, 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped, 2 tbs of minced garlic, 400gm of zucchini, coarsley grated/ chopped, 500gm of sweet potato, cooked and mashed, 4 eggs lightly beaten, 1 cup of tasty grated cheese, 1 packet of cherry tomatoes. 1 tsp of fennel seeds, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. Lightly grease an ovenproof dish or as I did 3 medium aluminium trays, (convenient for sharing ). Place the quinoa in a small saucepan with the water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer until all the water is absorded. Heat the oil in a small pan and fry the onion until tender and golden. Place in a large bowl and add the cooked quinoa, minced garlic, zucchini, the sweet potato mash, the fennel seeds, ground cinnamon, grated cheese, cracked pepper to taste, and the beaten eggs, the chopped bacon pieces. Mix thoroughly to combine. Pour the mixture in the prepared ovenproof dish or in between smaller trays. Sprinkle sparingly with any left over grated cheese. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half lengthways and place on top. Bake until the pie is set and golden on top. All that is left is to enjoy.
