Recipe: Simon Toohey
Directions
10 mins to prep
20 mins to bake
-
Step 1
Wrap the bulb of garlic in tin foil and bake in the oven at 180°C for 30 minutes.
-
Step 2
Add olive oil to a frying pan (grill pan specifically if you want those grill marks!) and add your zucchini slices; grill on high heat until golden.
-
Step 3
Take the garlic out of the oven, let it cool until you can touch it, then squeeze the garlic into a small bowl. Chop up the capers and add them to the bowl too, along with the vinegar, parsley, salt and pepper. Mash with the back of a fork and mix until combined.
-
Step 4
Once the zucchinis are grilled, lay them down on a plate and spoon over the dressing and serve.
Variation
This is a great side dish for a holiday spread! Sprinkle a handful of pomegranate seeds on top for a beautiful pop of that festive red colour.
