Pork & Zucchini Pie has always been one of my favorites. Moist pork and juicy zucchini mixed with egg and cheese gives you a dish that is inviting. It is home and comfort at any time of the year. A dish like this would start out at about 680 mg of sodium and can climb well over 1800 mg's. The salt in this recipe is natural salt with just a little dash of sea salt to bring out the flavor of the zucchini. You can also cut a little more of the salt if you make your own Italian Mozzarella cheese.
