About This Recipe
"In this Tunisian salad (pronounced aj-LUKE coo-rah-AH), served as an appetizer with bread, the rich flavoring lifts the blandness of zucchini. Harissa, a spicy North African sauce made with chile peppers and garlic, is available in specialty markets. You can use a good pinch of ground chile pepper instead. (Begin with a small dash--you can always add more). I am posting this dish for World Tour 2-Middle Eastern"
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lbs zucchini, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

- 1/2 teaspoon harissa
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions

"I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but I think for me it's mostly about texture, so I thought I'd try having it mashed. I wasn't particularly impressed. Two stars means we didn't dislike it, but we won't be making it again either. Note: Before mashing, DRY the cooked zucchini with a tea towel as best as possible."
