A quick tip to start with: If you’re really hungry, we recommend increasing the quantities slightly or serving with a tasty steak or fresh baguette, if you like. Wash the zucchini, remove the ends, and cut lengthwise into 2-3 cm thick slices. Stir the chopped Mediterranean herbs, either fresh from the garden or frozen, into the olive oil and let them steep for a short while. Place the zucchini on a baking tray or in a casserole dish and brush with the herb oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thin slices. Top the zucchini with them. Now add ham or tuna, if desired, and spread the grated cheese on top. Quarter the onion, cut it into fine strips, and sprinkle them on top. Bake at 200°C – 220°C (top and bottom heat) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Mozzarella and Gouda can also be replaced with feta or other cheeses.
