Units
Scale
- 12 lamb skewers, un-marinated
- 1 clove crushed garlic (optional)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary or oregano (optional)
- 3-4 large zucchinis, sliced evenly
- 1 cup tomato passata
- 1 cup grated cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
- Whipped feta, for serving (optional)
- Capers and tiny cornichons, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the sliced zucchinis in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Pour the tomato passata evenly over the zucchinis. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top the zucchinis with grated cheese, ensuring an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the zucchini bake is in the oven, heat a grill or hotplate over medium-high heat.
- Brush the lamb skewers with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic and herbs.
- Grill the lamb skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking.
- Serve the lamb skewers on a bed of whipped feta with capers and cornichons, if desired, alongside the zucchini bake.
Notes
Use un-marinated lamb skewers to avoid unwanted sugars and additives. The zucchini bake can be paired with buttered pasta or quinoa for a more filling meal. The whipped feta with capers and cornichons adds a tangy contrast to the dish. Chickpea water mayonnaise is a great egg-free alternative that lasts longer in the fridge.
