Instructions
- Whipped Feta
- In a high-speed food processor, add feta, oil and oregano. Blend on high speed for 20-30 seconds or until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Spoon into a small bowl and set aside.
- Flat Bread
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour. Whisk through yeast and salt. Make a well in the centre.
- Pour in warm water and olive oil. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix the flour into the liquid. Mixing until a soft dough forms. You may want to use your hands for this step!
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough and knead lightly until the dough is smooth all over, approx. 10-20 seconds of light kneading.
- Form dough into a smooth ball on floured surface and cover with a clean tablecloth. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- In a large cast iron skillet or fry pan, drizzle enough olive oil to create a light coating on the base of the pan. Begin to warm pan over a low heat.
- Lightly dust a rolling pin with flour. Roll out dough to a 1cm-2cm thick round or large enough to fit perfectly into your fry pan.
- Increase heat of pan to high. Once hot, place dough round into pan and cook for 30-40 seconds or until air bubbles begin to appear under the dough.
- Carefully flip over and cook for a further 20-30 seconds until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and keep bread in pan.
- Grilled Zucchini
- In a cast iron grill pan or barbecue grill, brush with a layer of olive oil drizzle enough olive oil and begin to warm pan over a low-medium heat. NOTE: if you don’t have a grill, simply use a regular fry pan instead.
- Thinly slice zucchini lengthways.
- Brush one side of each slice with the olive oil.
- Place slices on grill pan, olive oil sides down. Then brush the upright sides with the olive oil.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely grilled and softened.
- Depending on the size of your grill pan, you may have to cook your zucchini slices in batches.
- Assemble
- If desired, warm up your flat bread that’s still in the pan by turning the heat back on high for about 1 minute on each side until warmed through.
- Spread whipped feta over bread.
- Top with grilled zucchini.
- Sprinkle over pine nuts and fresh basil.
- If desired, finish off with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve and enjoy!
