METHOD

Cut the zucchini lengthwise into 5 mm thick slices. Marinate for 20 minutes in a bowl with the oil and salt.

In a blender, combine all of the dressing ingredients and process until smooth.

Grill the zucchini slices for 10 to 12 minutes on each side over indirect heat, then drizzle with the dressing and top with the pine nuts.

RECIPE NOTES

The zucchini can be slightly crunchy. The key is to give them a pleasant smoky aroma and appealing char marks.

This is also delicious when served cold.
