Zucchini and Lemon Pie
1 pie crust, unbaked
Filling:
3 small zucchini, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Custard:
6 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup lemon juice
Preheat oven to 400 °F.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Over high heat, sauté ingredients for filling
until the zucchini loses its color. Place in pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375
°F.
Meanwhile, make custard by creaming 6 tablespoons of butter with the sugar. Add eggs and yolks alternately with the flour, mixing well. Add lemon juice (and don't worry if it looks funny). Pour custard over the zucchini. Bake for an additional 35 minutes. Sounds odd, but it is really good.
