Feta cheese and zucchini spread
The star of summer dinner parties
Zucchini cream is perfect for a summer dinner spread on a slice of whole wheat bread. But you can also fill tortillas or ravioli with it, or mix it into pasta dishes. Try it with feta cheese! It will make every bite even more Mediterranean. It will keep in the refrigerator for a long time, but trust me, it won’t be there for days because it’s a heavenly treat that will disappear quickly when you serve it to guests. Even if everyone says, “Yuck, what does that look like? If it’s a cream, why didn’t you blend it?” (Based on a true story.) If you want, feel free to put it in a blender, but I think the rustic pieces suit it well.

Feta cheese and zucchini spread
Ingredients
- 4 small zucchini (Choose ones that are small and firm, because they taste better and are not yet soft and mushy in the middle.)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (or two, if you like more garlic)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch dried, crumbled oregano
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 40 g feta cheese
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini, cut off both ends, and dice it.
- Peel and slice the garlic.
- Pour a little oil into a hot, high-sided frying pan and add the garlic slices. Fry for a few minutes, then add the courgette pieces. Stir until they start to brown.
- Reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer with the lid on. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Simmer for a total of 30 minutes. During this time, the zucchini will soften and become creamy.
- Then remove from the heat and season with salt, pepper, crushed oregano, and lemon juice. Add a dash of oil and stir.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, blend it at the end.
- Serve lukewarm. Spread on bread and crumble feta cheese on top.
- Tip: it can be even tastier if you add onion (purple or red). Fry it together with the garlic, then add the zucchini.
