Ingredients
- 2 pieces small pita bread
- 2 large zucchini, trimmed, cut into 1cm-thick slices diagonally
- 2 red capsicums, halved, deseeded, cut into 2cm-thick slices
- 1 large (about 450g) eggplant, trimmed, quartered lengthways, cut into 1cm-thick slices
- 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh continental parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
- 1 tablespoon almond dukkah
- 100g feta, crumbled
- Lemon wedges, to serve
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 200°C. Place the pita bread on a large baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes or until crisp. Set aside to cool. Break into small pieces.
- Step 2Meanwhile, preheat a large chargrill on high. Combine the zucchini, capsicum, eggplant and 2 tablespoons of oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cook one-third of the zucchini mixture on the grill for 3 minutes each side or until tender and lightly charred. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining zucchini mixture.
- Step 3Whisk together the lemon juice and remaining oil in a large bowl. Add the zucchini mixture, parsley and mint, and toss to combine. Add the pita bread and toss to combine. Divide the salad among serving bowls. Sprinkle with dukkah and feta, and serve with lemon wedges.
