We present you one of those recipes that brighten up your summer. It’s very simple, tasty and unique.

And we have combined it with La Cultivada Quintaesencia.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 organic courgette (zucchini)
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• 2 sundried tomatoes
• 1 garlic scape (young garlic shoot)
• Fresh thyme
• La Cultivada Quintaesencia EVOO

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Slice the courgette with a mandolin (or use a knife to make thin slices).
2. Toast the pine nuts in a frying pan without oil for 1-2 minutes.
3. If the dried tomatoes are too dry, soak them beforehand (if they have been preserved in oil, they are usually more tender), and cut into small cubes.
4. Finely chop the green stem of the garlic scape (garlic scapes add a more subtle flavour, but you can use finely chopped normal garlic instead).
5. Arrange the courgette/zucchini slices on a plate, then add the pine nuts, the tomatoes, the garlic and the fresh thyme. Dress with a pinch of salt and pepper, a teaspoon of lemon juice and a generous serving of La Cultivada Quintaesencia.

Enjoy and share it!
