Chargrilled zucchini

  • 2 large zucchini
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil (about 3 tablespoons)
  • About half a cup of chopped green soft herbs (eg chives, basil, oregano).
  • A pinch of flaked chilli (optional)
  • Half a teaspoon of sumac (optional), or a teaspoon of grated orange or lime rind
  • 20ml red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar (about 1 tablespoon)
  • Salt and pepper

Slice the zucchini diagonally into about 5mm strips.  Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Grill in a frying pan, on the bbq or on a griddle plate until brown and a bit soft (but not falling apart). 

While grilling, put all other ingredients in a bowl.  When zucchini is cooked, add to bowl and toss while hot.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Drain most of the liquid when serving.
