This almost reminds me of bruschetta! I reduced the recipe to serve three people and omitted green peppers as I'm the only one who eats them. I did have to add about another 7 minutes to the cooking time as the zucchini was still a bit firm. Great flavour and I'll make it again. Made for Spring PAC 2014, thanks for the recipe jenjie!
