A great way to use zucchini from the garden, this slice is the perfect snack or meal served with avocado and salad. The basmati rice included in the recipe is a wonderful, minimally processed complex carbohydrate, Basmati rice has a lower glycaemic index than other types of rice. As the rice is cooked and cooled prior, it also has the added benefits of being a prebiotic and resistant starch, which is great for the gut health!
