Bread crisps, creamy feta, pint-sized pine nuts and refreshing mint blend beautifully with soft skinny strips of green and gold zucchini.
Preparation Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 15 minutes
Ingredients (serves 6)
2 tbs pine nuts
1 piece Lebanese bread, split
80ml (1/3 cup) olive oil
Pinch of sea salt flakes
1 lemon
3 green zucchini, cut lengthways into 4mm-thick slices
3 yellow zucchini, cut lengthways into 4mm-thick slices
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
75g feta, crumbled
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Place the pine nuts on a baking tray. Bake for 5 minutes or until light golden. Transfer to a small bowl.
2. Place Lebanese bread on the tray. Brush with 2 teaspoons of oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Bake for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden. Set aside to cool. Break into large pieces.
3. Meanwhile, use a zester to remove the rind from the lemon. (Alternatively, use a vegetable peeler to peel rind from lemon. Use a small sharp knife to remove white pith from rind. Cut rind into very thin strips.) Juice the lemon. Whisk together the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of oil in a small jug. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Preheat a barbecue grill on high. Place the combined zucchini and remaining oil in a large bowl and combine. Cook the zucchini for 2 minutes each side or until golden and tender.
5. Combine the zucchini, mint and three-quarters of the dressing in a bowl. Arrange half the zucchini mixture and half the bread on a serving platter. Top with remaining zucchini, bread, pine nuts and feta. Drizzle over the remaining dressing. Serve.
