Grilled Zucchini with Tuna Sauce

Grilled zucchini with tuna sauce is not a real recipe but a fresh and appetizing idea suitable for the nice weather, a grilled zucchini carpaccio very easy to make and I think almost everyone will like it!

The TUNA SAUCE is a must because it can be adapted to many other ingredients, it’s very easy to make because we can make it more caloric with MAYONNAISE (650 per 100 grams of product) or lighter with the addition of light spreadable cream cheese (160 per 100 grams of food), adjusting the taste and calories!

#ADV

  • Blender
  • Mandoline
  • Spatulas

Steps

  • 1) After washing, drying, and cutting off the ends of the ZUCCHINI, I slice them into small pieces with the mandoline.

    2) I then grill them very quickly on the plate, lightly greased with seed oil.

    3) I prepare the sauce by placing the well-drained tuna, mayonnaise (I’ve left the recipe on the blog) along with anchovies and capers in the blender and emulsifying the ingredients well to obtain a smooth and creamy sauce.

    4) I lay the zucchini slices just grilled and season them with this delicious cream,

    5) I can serve the grilled zucchini with tuna sauce with some lemon zest, parsley leaves, sliced pickles, or some caper fruits like caperberries!

    Enjoy your meal!

A little bit of lemon zest, organic or untreated, doesn’t hurt in the tuna sauce!
