Roasted zucchini with Labneh
INGREDIENTS
1 kg zucchini, peeled and cut
into chunks
4 tablespoons marinating oil
(see page 20)
Handful of pine nuts
200 ml labneh/full cream
Greek yoghurt
1 tablespoon za’atar
Juice of 1 lemon
4 tablespoons olive oil
Handful of chopped parsley
METHOD
1. Marinate the zucchini with the marinating oil just before roasting and roast on a baking tray with baking paper for 15 minutes at 200°C, remove and leave on the baking tray until ready to plate.
2. In a small saucepan toast the pine nuts until golden brown, stirring with a wooden spoon continuously to avoid burning.
3. In a flat serving dish, spread the roasted zucchini chunks loosely, add dollops of the labneh/yogurt in between the chunks, sprinkle the za’atar evenly, then the pine nuts. Squeeze lemon juice over the dish and drizzle olive oil evenly. Finish with the chopped parsley.
