Discover our Hulled Wheat & Zucchini Casserole with Pine Nuts, a refined culinary creation from Karine & Jeff that combines tradition and innovation in our “Plats Cuisinés” range. This dish is a symphony of flavours and textures, featuring small spelt, grown in the Gers region, prepared in the style of a risotto for a unique taste experience.
The slightly crunchy texture of small spelt forms the perfect base for tender, juicy courgettes. The pine nuts, known for their delicacy, add a crunchy, rich dimension to the dish. The mixture is harmoniously bound together by soy cream, a light alternative to traditional cream, and enhanced by Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, adding depth of flavour and a touch of authentic cheese.
Serving Suggestion: This casserole is ideal as a light, nutritious main course. It can be accompanied by the protein of your choice, such as grilled chicken or marinated tofu, for a vegetarian option. Pair it with a green salad for a complete meal, or serve it with a glass of dry white wine for a rewarding dining experience.
Tasting Advice: To get the most out of the flavours, heat the casserole gently. Just before serving, add a touch of fresh basil and an extra pinch of Parmigiano Reggiano for an explosion of flavour.
