There is one thing you will probably never see on TYT.com and that is cucumbers, for some reason I just cannot stomach them but their fraternal twin, the zucchini (or courgette, in England) I find delicious. It is the season for zucchini and if you have already tried my zucchini chips here is another way to prepare this fine vegetable. Roasting vegetables is a sure way to get the best out of them easily, like my roasted cauliflower, roasted zucchini can feel a little addictive because all you do is toss and cook, and in no time you find yourself picking at yummy veggies. The tomato sauce I made with it was inspired by my trip to Morocco a couple months ago, where they made a simple tomato sauce by grating the tomato, adding some seasoning and serving it cold. In Morocco they paired this tomato sauce with kebabs and various meats, as you will see on Wednesday’s post but it works really well with veggies too. If you have leftover zucchini toss them into your next salad cold for texture and flavour.
