Ingredients
- Serves 4
- 8 medium size zucchinis, try different varieties and colours
- Handful of fresh mint leaves
- 75g or more if desired of good quality goats feta cheese
- 1-2 lemons
- 100ml extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
CHAR GRILLED ZUCCHINIS with LEMON, MINT AND FETA
Method
- Heat a griddle pan or barbecue up very hot
- While that is heating up slice the zucchinis length ways 5mm thick
- Set aside
- Grate the zest of one lemon and add the juice to a small bowl
- Add the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, add the mint leaves and taste
- You are wanting a fresh, zesty dressing
- Once the grill or pan is hot, place the zucchini strips single layer on the grill or pan
- Cook for about 1 minute, if the grill is hot enough it should leave a lovely charred effect
- Turn over and briefly cook the other side of the zucchinis
- Do not over cook them, as they should have some texture
- Once cooked place the zucchini strips directly onto a nice serving dish, add the dressing and sprinkle over the crumbled goats cheese
- Toss gently to combine everything together
- Enjoy
Comments
This is simple, seasonal and delicious. Try it with some toasted sourdough bread, or perhaps some pan fried fillets of fish and aioli.
Thanks to Te Mahanga Orchard for providing the zucchini used in the demonstration.
