Description

Layered baked zucchini slices and seasoned Greek yogurt create a festive and tasty appetizer with sesame seeds and black currants.


Ingredients

Scale

200g Authentic Greek yogurt 10%
Salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
3 sprigs of chopped parsley
5 zucchinis of varying sizes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sautéed white sesame seeds and black currants


Instructions

Slice the zucchinis thickly and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush them with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they turn golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the authentic Greek yogurt with smoked paprika, chopped parsley, salt, and dried mint.
Transfer the yogurt mixture into a piping bag.
Once the zucchini slices have cooled, begin assembling the layers: start with a zucchini base, then alternate between layers of the yogurt mixture and zucchini slices.
Secure the top with a star-shaped toothpick and garnish by sprinkling sautéed white sesame seeds and black currants.

Notes

Use star-shaped toothpicks for a festive presentation.
Sauté white sesame seeds gently to release their flavor.
Black currants add a sweet and tangy garnish that complements the yogurt.
