Grilled Zucs & Peaches

 

The grill is especially friendly to both zucchini and peaches, so here they are together at last. The peaches are especially tender after grilling, so simply slice and arrange with the zucchini. The dressing can be slathered and dripped across the top.

Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 peach, large or a couple small
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup fresh basil
  • ½ cup mint, or more basil
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced

Serving Size: 2 People

Preparation Instructions

Heat a grill or grill pan up to high heat.

Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. Slice again on the diagonal into wide and thick half moon shapes. The attempt is to have a similar size/shape to the slices of peaches. Dip the zucchini slices in a splash of the olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Reduce the heat of the grill to medium-high. Place the zucchini slices on the grill spread a part. Sear on each side for about 3-6 minutes until charred grill marks appear. Remove individually from the heat as this happens.

Cut the peaches in half. Remove the pit. Dip in the olive oil. Place cut side down on the grill. Sear until grill marks appear and then remove.

Meanwhile, place the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, basil, mint and garlic in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Alternatively, mince up the fresh herbs, garlic and toss with the lemon juice and oil. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.

Slice the grilled peaches into thin slices. Alternate the zucchini slices between the peach slices on a serving dish. Gently drizzle the herb dressing across the top.
