Ingredients
  

For the marinated zucchini strips:

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing the zucchinis and cutting off the ends. Cut them in half lengthwise.
  • Place in an ovenproof dish. Add the whole head of garlic. Drizzle generously with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the oven at 220°C for 1h10.
  • Leave to cool, weigh the cooked zucchini, then place the cooked zucchini, with any juices it may have given off, in a small blender with the roasted garlic cloves.
  • Weigh out 10% of the weight of the tahini zucchini, the sesame cream. Season with salt and pepper, a little olive oil (1 tablespoon) and the leaves of a dozen sprigs of mint.
  • It'll be a lot, but it'll be fresh and delicious!
  • Blend until smooth and homogeneous.
  • For the last zucchini, cut lengthwise into thin strips, best done with a mandolin.
  • Pour into a bowl and add the zest of half to one whole lime. Season with salt and olive oil.
  • Leave to marinate in a cool place for at least an hour. You can put everything in cling film in a cool place.
  • Just before serving, place the zucchini caviar in a dish, add the marinated zucchini strips and drizzle with olive oil. For a mint-flavored chlorophyll oil, go HERE!
  • Serve with warm, crusty bread.
