ZUCCHINI E POMODORI GRATINATI (ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO GRATIN)



Zucchini e Pomodori Gratinati (Zucchini and Tomato Gratin) image

A quick and easy vegetarian dish for two, or a starter for 4, or even a side. A rustic Italian favorite, taught me by my Roman friends. If serving as a main, then crusty bread, torn off the loaf by hand, and a green salad with a lemon and/or lime vinaigrettey dressing cannot be bettered.

ZUCCHINI WITH FRESH TOMATOES AND MOZZARELLA



Zucchini With Fresh Tomatoes and Mozzarella image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds zucchini
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes
1 pound mozzarella
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
Basil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be medium-low and the rack about 4 inches from the heat.
  • Cut 1 1/2 pounds zucchini into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • Rub zucchini with olive oil, salt and pepper; grill, turning once, until nicely browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • As zucchini cooks, slice 1 1/2 pounds tomatoes and 1 pound mozzarella into 1/4 inch rounds.
  • Toss (or layer) with the zucchini, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with basil.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and firm zucchini: Choose zucchini that are free of blemishes and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are too soft or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: This recipe calls for a combination of Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Roma tomatoes provide a firm texture and a sweet flavor, while cherry tomatoes add a pop of color and a burst of sweetness.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. Make sure to roast the vegetables until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a food processor to chop the vegetables: A food processor makes it easy to chop the vegetables into small, even pieces. This will help to create a smooth and consistent caviar.
  • Season the caviar to taste: The caviar can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Season the caviar to your own taste preferences.

Conclusion:

Zucchini and tomato caviar is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, a side dish, or a main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. This recipe is a great way to use up summer zucchini and tomatoes.
