Provided by รก-24534

Number Of Ingredients 18

SALSA:
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons green onion, minced
2 tablespoons basil, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 medium plum tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon green onion, minced
2 teaspoons basil, minced
1/4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
SQUASH STACKS:
1 large yellow summer squash
1 large uncooked zucchini
4 sprays cooking spray
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the ricotta filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, green onion, basil, lemon zest, garlic, black pepper and red pepper flakes; refrigerate until ready to use. To make the salsa, in a small bowl, combine tomatoes, green onion, basil, vinegar and salt; set aside at room temperature. Slice squash and zucchini crosswise into eight 1/4-inch-thick slices each; place in a third bowl, coat with cooking spray and toss with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Off heat, coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray; heat to medium-high heat. Grill squash and zucchini, until softened and grill marks appear, about 8 to 10 minutes; let cool to room temperature. To assemble stacks, spread 4 squash slices with 1 1/2 teaspoons ricotta mixture each; top each with a zucchini slice and spread with 1 1/2 teaspoons more ricotta mixture. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 2 layers; garnish each stack with 2 tablespoons salsa and serve immediately.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The grilled squash is sweet and smoky, and the herbed ricotta is tangy and creamy.

I'm not usually a fan of summer squash, but this recipe changed my mind! The grilling brought out the sweetness of the squash and the herbed ricotta was the perfect topping. I'll be making this again for sure.
