Method
Step 1: Place zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat and set aside for 30 minutes to draw out excess liquid. Rinse, then pat dry with paper towel.
Step 2: Heat oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add zucchini and season. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until softened and sweet. Remove from heat, drizzle over lemon juice and extra olive oil, and toss with mint leaves.
Step 3: Meanwhile, heat a chargrill pan or barbecue to high heat. Grill bread for 2 minutes each side or until charred. Rub hot bread with the cut sides of the garlic.
Step 4: Divide mozzarella among toast. Top with zucchini mixture and mint to serve.
