Zucchinis with feta and mint

In France, we have a week per year, called 'The Taste week' ("La semaine du goût"). So during this week, which was in the beginning of october this year, I made a new recipe each day. You can see it here.
There were 2 favorites, which are, this recipe and a dessert (that I'll post later).
Let's discover zucchinis in a different way! (better during summertime...)


Zucchinis with feta and mint

For 4 people

6 zucchinis
2 tbsp olive oil
2 ½ ounces of crumbled feta
1 tsp of lemon zest
½ tbsp of minced garlic
1 tbsp of lemon juice
1 tbsp of chiselled mint

1- Cut the zucchinis in 4 lengthwise. Warm up half of the oil in a big pan and cook the zucchinis over a middle heat. When they are soft and browned, put them in a dish.
2- Crumble the feta on the zucchinis. Mix the lemon zest, the garlic and the lemon juice. Incorporate the olive oil, beat with a fork and coat the zucchinis with this sauce. Embellish with the mint, salt and pepper. Serve it warm.

Courgettes à la feta et à la menthe

Pour 4 personnes

6 courgettes
2 c.s d’huile d’olive
70g de feta émiettée

1/2 c.s d’ail hâché

2 c.s de menthe ciselée

1- Détaillez chaque courgette en quatre bâtons dans la longueur. Chauffez la moitié de l’huile dans une grosse poêle antiadhésive à fond épais et faites cuire les courgettes à feu moyen. Lorsqu’elles sont tendres et dorées, disposez-les sur un plat de service.
2- Emiettez la feta sur les courgettes. Mélangez le zeste, l’ail et le jus de citron dans un récipient. Incorporez le reste d’huile, fouettez avec une fourchette et nappez les courgettes de cette sauce. Agrémentez de menthe ciselée puis salez et poivrez. Servez chaud.
