Recipe for Mini Zucchini Gratin

Wash the zucchini, cut off the ends, and then cut it into 16 long thin slices (ideally using a mandoline).

Immerse them for 2 minutes in a pot of boiling salted water, then drain.

Mix the tomato pulp with the crushed garlic, basil, olives, salt, and pepper, and pour into the bottom of a large dish or into 4 small individual dishes.

Cut the slices of ham in half lengthwise. Cut the cheese into 4 slices and then cut each slice into 5 sticks.

Spread a little tapenade on a slice of zucchini, add half a slice of cured ham, a stick of cheese, and roll it all up.

Place the roll on the tomato sauce and do this for all the zucchini slices.

Sprinkle the remaining cut sticks over the top and place in the oven to gratin at 180°C for 15 minutes.

Tip: you can replace the tapenade with pesto.
