Thread Name: Broccoli Cornbread (and variants)
Subject: RE: Broccoli Cornbread (and variants)
I make something similar - with variants.
Instead of cornmeal, I mash up a can of butter beans or white beans or chickpeas and sometimes add a small amount of flour.
The two main variations I have made are:
"Mexican" with corn kernels, red capsicum and chilli through it and grated cheese mixed in and on top.
Zucchini with grated zucchini - and other available veg - with grated cheese in and on it.
A good standby for a quick meal and very good as leftovers.
The mashed beans/chickpeas makes it high in fibre but in fact the mash looks and acts like mashed potato. A sneaky way to add fibre without ruining a dish. I use them for making fish cakes instead of mashed potato, too. Yum!
