Grilled Zucchini with Zaatar

Ingredients


2 lbs zucchini (or summer squash)
1 Tablespoon Olive oil
2 Tablespoons Zaatarspice
1 teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
Garnish w/ flat-leaf parsley, lemon, labneh or yogurt, olive oil, baby tomatoes, or chili flakes

Cooking Instructions

1. Pre heat grill to High.

2. Slice the zucchini on the diagonal, into ½ inch thick slices and place into a large bowl. Drizzle w/ olive oil, sprinkle w/ salt and zaatar spice and add the finely minced garlic. Using your hands, toss to combine until well mixed.

3. Place zucchini on the hot grill using tongs. Turn heat down to medium high and close the lid and give a good sear, about 5 minutes. When there are good grill marks, turn over. Turn heat down to medium, cover, grill until cooked through about 5 more minutes. If you like them very tender, move them to an upper rack, cover and continue to cook, on very low heat or place in a pan and cover with foil, letting them steam.

4. When cooked to desired tenderness, place zucchini on a platter. One one side of the platter, or in a little bowl, spoon on Smoked Yogurt, Geek style yogurt or Labneh, garnish with a few cherry tomatoes, sprinkling of Italian parsley, a squeeze of lemon and if you like a little drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle with chili flakes for a little heat!
