This appetizer is like zucchini pesto. It is also a great spread on bread and topped with cheese or grilled steak.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Grated Parmesen Cheese

1/2 teaspoon Cracked pepper

1/3 cup Olive oil

1 Large clove garlic, minced

4 Medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, stem end removed

Flat bread, crackers or pita bread cut into wedges for serving

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Preparation

1.) Heat the grill to medium high. Brush the cut zucchini with a little of the olive oil. Grill on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly tender and grill marks appear. Remove from grill and let sit until cool enough to handle.

2.) Cut zucchini into large pieces and put in a bowl of a good food processor. Add the garlic and cheese and pulse; drizzle in the remaining olive oil until a chunky puree forms. Season with salt and pepper and serve with bread.
