Zucchini Carpaccio with Feta and Pine Nuts

Servings 0

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini 1 green and 1 yellow is nice, ends trimmed and sliced into paper-thin rounds
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 4 teaspoons high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons loosely packed fresh mint coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts lightly toasted

Instructions

  • Slice zucchini in circles on a mandolin or with a knife. If they are very thin, use without blanching. If they seem a little thick for a carpaccio, blanch or steam for less than a minute. Drain and dry.
  • In a non-stick pan, lightly toast pine nuts.
  • Combine zucchini rounds and lemon zest in a medium bowl and toss to coat zucchini. Arrange zucchini on a platter in an attractive design by slightly overlapping the slices. If you don’t want to take the time, put on a platter in one layer.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle feta, pine nuts and mint leaves over zucchini and serve.
