πŸ•’ Prep Time: 10 min

🍳 Cook Time: 5-6 min
🍽️ Servings: 2-3


Ingredients

For the Grilled Zucchini:

  • 2 young zucchinis
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil (e.g., sunflower oil)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Cheese Cream:

  • 100 g Danish White cheese
  • 2 spring onions (white parts only)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 sprigs fresh dill
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice zucchinis into 0.5 cm thick rounds. Sprinkle salt on both sides and place on paper towels for 10-15 minutes to drain excess moisture.
  2. Preheat a grill pan over high heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Brush zucchini slices on both sides with oil using a silicone brush.
  4. Grill zucchini slices for 2-3 minutes on the first side until light grill marks appear, then flip and grill for another 2 minutes. Zucchini should remain juicy and cooked al dente.
  5. Remove grilled zucchini to a plate and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. In a blender or food processor, combine Danish white cheese, chopped spring onion whites, olive oil, dill, and 2-3 tbsp water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve grilled zucchini alongside the cheese cream dip.

πŸ’‘ Tips

  • Use young zucchini for tender texture and mild flavor.
  • Draining zucchini before grilling helps achieve better char and prevents sogginess.
  • Adjust water in cheese cream for desired consistency.
  • Fresh dill adds bright herbal notes to the dip.
