This week we are shining the spotlight … on zucchini.
I am always amazed at how many undervalue this very versatile vegie – actually it is a fruit but we use it as a vegie like so many others. When I spotted the Zucchini Tortilla recipe that is included in this week’s newsletter (see the link to the newsletter below) I knew it was time to share some recipes to inspire you to get creative with this particular vegie. Raw spiralised zucchini as a very refreshing and tasty substitute for pasta in a pesto salad. Toss in a few olives and sundried tomatoes on a base of English spinach or rocket and hey pesto! Easy, tasty and so healthy. One of my summer my favourites especially if you pick up a jar of pesto from Rob at Spice Palace – making it extra easy.
Zucchini tortillas can be enjoyed as a snack. If you want you can even add some tomato sauce, pepperoni and cheese on top to make a fantastic low carb pizza with a zucchini pizza crust.
The fun possibilities with these “tortillas” are endless and we’re still not tired of devouring every single batch that we make.
How about this delicious recipe for grilled zucchini with warm yoghurt and saffron butter? A great simple recipe by Yotam Ottolenghi.
