Crostini With Zucchini

1. 1

   Cut the zucchini in half lengthways and then into 2cm pieces. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a thick- bottomed pan. Add the zucchini and fry, stirring to coat them with the oil. Add the sliced garlic, season and stir.

2. 2

   Lower the heat and cook gently for about 10-15 minutes, until the zucchini are slightly browned. Add three tablespoons of hot water and carefully stir, scraping the juices into the zucchini as they cook.

3. 3

   After about five minutes, when the water is absorbed and the zucchini are soft, add the herbs, slightly mashing the mixture with a fork. Check the seasoning. Leave to cool to room temperature, then drizzle with olive oil.

4. 4

   Grill the slices of ciabatta. Rub one side only with the cut garlic clove. Spoon the zucchini mixture over and serve.
