Serves: 4
about 1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 courgettes, 2 finely chopped, 2 very thinly sliced lengthways
small bunch basil, leaves picked
40g parmigiano reggiano, finely grated
lemon juice, to taste
120g ricotta
5 green olives, sliced
smoked paprika, to dust
PUMPKIN SEED DRESSING
60g pumpkin seeds
25ml vegetable oil
25ml honey
5g white miso
1. Set a medium pan on a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the garlic, chopped courgette and 1 tbsp water; cover and cook for 2 minutes. Whizz in a blender with ½ the basil and ½ the parmesan until smooth, then transfer to a bowl over iced water to cool quickly, so the colour is retained.
2. For the dressing, fry the pumpkin seeds in the oil for 3-4 minutes. Heat the honey in a small pan until dark golden (about 2-3 minutes). Put the honey, miso and seeds with their oil into a mini blender or the small bowl of a food processor; pulse until combined but still coarse-textured. Season and cool.
3. Season the sliced courgettes with lemon juice, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, to taste; set aside. Mix the remaining 20g parmesan through the ricotta; season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the courgette purée onto plates and top with the courgette slices, olives and a spoonful of the ricotta mixture. Drizzle over the pumpkin seed dressing, scatter over the remaining basil leaves and dust with paprika before serving.
