Recipe of the Week - Zucchini Tartines

Description

This simple recipe from Wisconsin from Scratch puts a refreshing spin on zucchini - julienned, marinated in fresh lemon, oil, and grassy summer herbs, then mounded atop tangy sheep milk cheese and crisp, garlicky sourdough, this is zucchini in a whole new light.

Ingredients

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, basil, parsley, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, chile flake, salt, and pepper. Let sit while you prepare the toast.

3. Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Cut garlic clove in half, and rub the cut sides over the top of the bread slices. Discard garlic clove. Brush the top of each slice of bread with a bit of olive oil. Bake bread until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

4. Spread each slice of toasted bread with ½ ounce of the cheese.

5. Give the zucchini mixture a good stir (some liquid will have separated out), season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired. Divide zucchini mixture evenly between the 4 toasts. Serve immediately.
