There are more things in this world to grill than dogs and beef. This is my favorite way to prepare zucchini. Ingredients:
3 zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
salt |
fresh-ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon wine vinegar |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley |
1/2 pound salted fresh mozzarella, cut into thick slices |
Directions:
1. Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, toss the zucchini with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Grill or broil the zucchini, turning once, until tender and golden, about 5 minutes per side. Put the zucchini back in the bowl.
2. Toss the zucchini with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, the vinegar, garlic, and parsley. Let cool.
3. Put the mozzarella slices on a serving plate, fanning them out to form a circle. Drizzle them with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle them with a pinch of pepper. Fold the zucchini slices in half and tuck them between the pieces of cheese.
