Makes 6 servings

Active Time: 45 मिनटों

कुल समय: 45 मिनटों

Ingredients

  • 1 medium lemon
  • 2 बड़े चम्मच एक्स्ट्रा-वर्जिन जैतून का तेल
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 चम्मच नमक
  • 2 pounds small zucchini, cut into lengthwise slices about 1/2 inch thick
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Tips)
  • 1/3 cup thinly shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (see Tips)

Preparation

  1. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the peel from lemon with a vegetable peeler, making sure not to include any white pith. (Reserve the lemon.) Cut the peel into thin slivers. Add to the boiling water and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a small bowl. Add oil, pepper and salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high or place a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
  4. Oil the grill rack (see Tips) or the grill pan. Grill zucchini slices, turning once, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  5. Arrange the zucchini on a platter and drizzle with the reserved lemon dressing. Serve sprinkled with almonds, cheese and the lemon peel.

Tips & Notes

  • Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 4, cover and refrigerate the zucchini, lemon peel and dressing for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Tips: To toast sliced or chopped nuts, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Use a vegetable peeler to shave thin curls or slivers off a block of hard cheese like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • ग्रिल रैक पर तेल लगाने के लिए, मुड़े हुए कागज़ के तौलिये पर तेल लगाएँ, उसे चिमटे से पकड़ें और रैक पर रगड़ें। (गर्म ग्रिल पर कुकिंग स्प्रे का इस्तेमाल न करें।)
