Print this Recipe

(Budín de Calabacitas)
Category: Squash
Baked vegetable casseroles containing flour, eggs, and milk are called budínes in Mexico. Serve this as a vegetarian entrée or to accompany saucy meat dishes. If you like tonguetingling flavors, the budín is really good with Chipotle and Tomatillo Sauce (see Salsas, Sauces, and Condiments).


   1/4 cup all-purpose flour
   1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
   1 teaspoon baking powder
   1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
   1/2 cup white onions, finely chopped
   3/4 pound medium zucchini, trimmed and cut into small dice
   1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
   2 large eggs
   1/2 cup low-fat milk
   1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt
   1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese or cheddar cheese


1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a square 8-inch baking dish. In a small bowl mix together the flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Set aside.

2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the zucchini, thyme, salt, and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, until the zucchini is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Reserve in the pan off the heat.

3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl until blended. Beat in the milk, sour cream, and 1/4 cup of the cheese. Add the dry ingredients. Mix well. Add the zucchini mixture. Mix well. Transfer to the baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Bake until the budín is set and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cut into squares and serve hot.
