Barbecued zucchini with feta & lemon recipe


The Side Dish blog (the home of side dish and salad collection recipes) invites you to try Barbecued zucchini with feta & lemon recipe. Enjoy quick and easy cooking recipes and learn how to make Barbecued zucchini with feta & lemon.

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.

Notes

Time plan tip: Prepare this recipe to the end of step 2 up to 1 day ahead. Store the pine nuts and bread in separate airtight containers at room temperature. Continue to the end of step 3 up to 4 hours ahead. Cover the dressing and store at room temperature. Continue from step 4, 10 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (8-ounce) piece pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 medium onion, finely chopped

Parmesan polenta recipe


The Side Dish blog (the home of side dish and salad collection recipes) invites you to try Parmesan polenta recipe. Enjoy quick and easy cooking recipes and learn how to make Parmesan polenta.

Ingredients (serves 6)

3 cups milk
1 cup instant polenta
50g butter, chopped
50g parmesan cheese, finely grated

Method


1. Combine milk and 3 cups cold water (see note) in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Slowly pour in polenta, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low.

2. Using a balloon whisk, whisk polenta vigorously for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir with a wooden spoon for 1 minute.

3. Add butter, three-quarters of the grated parmesan and salt and pepper. Stir until butter melts. Top with remaining parmesan and serve.

Notes
Polenta needs to be cooked then served immediately to prevent it becoming stodgy. This is a creamy, soft polenta - if you prefer it thicker, use 2 cups water in step 1.
