Zucchini and Feta Appetizer image

This is a quick and fun appetizer or light lunch served with crusty bread! You can use as much or as little olive oil as you like, but I suggest a good "glug" on each!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 zucchini
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
8 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
sea salt (coarse)
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Boil a large pot of salted water (not the dead sea, but put in a couple of TBSP of salt).
  • Cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Use a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds, to form a little canoe, if you will. Blanche the halves in the boiling water for a minute, remove and let drain on a paper towel for a few minutes.
  • Pre-heat your broiler/grill on high.
  • Fill each "canoe" with feta cheese (you don't have to use the whole cup up, but put a good amount in each) and broil for a couple of minutes. When the cheese has turned a little brown in spots, remove from the broiler.
  • Drizzle each with a TBSP of olive oil, a sprinkle of pepper and salt if you like, and serve with crusty bread (I like ciabatta, rubbed with garlic and a little olive oil.).
