Methods
Prep time: 20 mins, plus salting and soaking time / Cook time: 20 mins.
1
Place the currants and Verjuice in a small bowl and leave to soak for 1 hour.
2
Spread the zucchini rounds on a wire rack, sprinkle lightly with sea salt and black pepper and leave for 1 hour.
3
Rinse the zucchini and dry really well with paper towel, pressing down lightly to draw out any remaining moisture.
4
Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180°C.
5
Place the pine nuts on a baking tray and roast for 6-7 minutes or until golden, checking them frequently to make sure they don’t burn. Set aside.
6
Heat the oil in a fry pan with a tight fitting lid over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook until golden brown.
7
Add the zucchini and cover the pan with the lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, turning the zucchini halfway through the cooking time.
8
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium–high. Add the currants and any Verjuice not absorbed and cook for 1 minute or until the liquid has reduced by half and the zucchini is tender.
9
Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle over the pine nuts. Scatter the chopped mint at the very last moment.
Maggie's Kitchen Notes:
All my recipes are cooked with a fan forced (convection) oven, increase by 20°C for conventional. My recipes use 20ml tablespoons and 5ml teaspoons, look carefully at your measuring spoons as American spoons are often on sale and they are a smaller measure. All produce are medium sized and all eggs are from an extra large carton (700g).
