October 31, 2012

Submitted by Karen Coello.

Serves 4. Preparation 15 mins.

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground celery seed (optional)
  • 4 zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise (have tried several different ways,
  • vegie peeler is okay but takes too long. You are probably better off slicing
  • thinly – especially if cooking on the BBQ)

For the marinade:

  • 1 small red chilli (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

For serving:

  • 1 lettuce, washed
  • Mizuna and antipasto ingredients if you like.

 

Method:

  1. Place tomato halves on a grill tray with the cut side up. Spray tops with a little olive oil spray, sprinkle with pepper and celery seed. Place under a very low grill and cook for about 10 minutes without turning over.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a chargrill pan over a medium to high heat. Spray pan with olive oil cooking spray; cook zucchini for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until charred and cooked through.
  3. Mix chilli, lemon juice, oregano and pepper. Pour marinade over the zucchini and toss thoroughly.
  4. Combine tomato and zucchini in a serving bowl. Serve lettuce on the side with any other antipasto ingredients that take your fancy.

I’ve sliced the zucchini several ways and it depends on how I feel at the time. vegie peeler, sliced with knife, processor etc. I have personally never bothered with the lettuce. This recipe is great for BBQs as something different from the normal leafy salad.
