Categories     Vegetable

Yield makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

450g zucchini
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled: 1 thinly sliced, 1 cut in half
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint or basil
1 ciabatta loaf, cut diagonally into 1cm thick pieces

Steps:

  • ▶ Cut the zucchini in half lengthways and then into 2cm pieces. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a thick- bottomed pan. Add the zucchini and fry, stirring to coat them with the oil. Add the sliced garlic, season and stir. ▶ Lower the heat and cook gently for about 10-15 minutes, until the zucchini are slightly browned. Add three tablespoons of hot water and carefully stir, scraping the juices into the zucchini as they cook. ▶ After about five minutes, when the water is absorbed and the zucchini are soft, add the herbs, slightly mashing the mixture with a fork. Check the seasoning. Leave to cool to room temperature, then drizzle with olive oil. ▶ Grill the slices of ciabatta. Rub one side only with the cut garlic clove. Spoon the zucchini mixture over and serve.
