Zucchini Parmigiana

with Herby Garlic Ciabatta and Insalata Caprese

Parmigiana is a Northern Italian classic. It's traditionally made with fried eggplant but we're using zucchini here for a lighter taste. All the classic flavours remain for a delectable riff on a classic.

Cooking Steps

1 PREP
1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (to bake the parmigiana and toast the ciabatta buns). Start prepping when your oven comes up to temperature!

Wash and dry all produce.* Halve the tomatoes. Mince or grate the garlic. Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thin strips. Slice the mozzarella ball into 1/4-inch thick slices. Gently pat the mozzarella slices dry with paper towel. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan and panko. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2 COOK ZUCCHINI
2

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a few zucchini slices to the dry pan. Cook until softened and golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. This will stew the zucchini slices rather than brown them nicely.)

3 ASSEMBLE
3

In another small bowl, stir together the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. In an 8x8-inch baking dish, spoon over 1/3 cup diced tomatoes. Layer over half the zucchini slices and 1/3 portion of the mozzarella.

4 BAKE PARMIGIANA
4

Repeat with the remaining diced tomato mixture, remaining zucchini and 1/3 portion of the mozzarella. Dollop with half the pesto. (NOTE: We'll use the rest later in the salad!) Sprinkle over the panko mixture. Bake the zucchini parmigiana on the top shelf of the oven, until warmed through and the panko mixture is golden-brown, 12-15 min.

5 MAKE GARLIC CIABATTA
5

Meanwhile, in another small bowl, stir togther the garlic, dried oregano and 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cut each ciabatta bun in half and brush the cut-side with the garlic oil. Arrange on baking sheet cut-side up and toast in the centre of the oven until lightly golden-brown, 5-6 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on your ciabatta so that it does not burn!)

6 FINISH AND SERVE

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss together tomatoes, remaining pesto, 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the zucchini parmigiana between plates. Serve with garlic ciabatta and tomato salad.
