ZUCCHINI E POMODORI GRATINATI (ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO GRATIN)
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.

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.
