BOB’s nutrition:
Pananma Passionfruit
Although passionfruit isn’t a variety of citrus, it is a source of vitamin C - important for
maintaining a strong immune system and keeping your skin, teeth and bones healthy. It is also higher in fibre (per 100 grams) than many other fruits, which is helpful for keeping your digestive system active. Selecting and storing passionfruit
The best passionfruit are heavy for their size with smooth to slightly wrinkled skin. Avoid those with excessively wrinkled, dry looking or blemished skins - BOB's Panama Passionfruit are beautiful today!!
Passionfruit can last in a fruit bowl for up to 10 days or even longer if refrigerated.

Zucchini and Tomato Casserole
This dish can be played with as you wish!
|
Zucchini, cubed or sliced lengthways
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon margarine, melted or butter
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup grated Romano cheese or Parmesan – or any cheese you like but the stronger cheese you choose the less you will use – so this reduces fat!
|
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish. Place zucchini in a pot fitted with a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5 mins. (Or you can lightly fry to soften with onions and garlic if you wish). When tender but firm. Transfer to the casserole dish. Add pepper, and margarine, and stir into the casserole dish, evenly coating zucchini. Layer tomato slices over zucchini, and sprinkle with basil and cheese of your choice.
Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and golden brown.
