Ingredients:
3 young zucchini, sliced into finger-like strips, keeping them attached at the base
3-4 tomatoes, sliced into thin rounds
200g (7 oz) cheese, grated (choose your favorite, like mozzarella or cheddar)
Salt, to taste
7 tablespoons sour cream
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Smoked paprika, to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 200°C (390°F) to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
Prepare the Vegetables:
Wash the zucchini and carefully slice them into finger-like strips, making sure to keep the base intact so the zucchini holds together like a fan.
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds.
3. Arrange in the Baking Dish:
Gently fan out the zucchini slices in a baking dish. Tuck tomato slices in between the zucchini “fingers,” spacing them evenly.
4. Season the Vegetables:
Lightly sprinkle salt and smoked paprika over the arranged zucchini and tomato slices.
5. Make the Garlic Sour Cream:
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with the minced garlic. Stir until well mixed.
6. Add the Sour Cream Mixture:
Spoon the garlic sour cream mixture evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish, making sure to cover the zucchini “fingers” and tomatoes.
7. Top with Cheese:
Generously sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the zucchini and tomatoes.
8. Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
