Tempo di preparazione: 25 minuti
Difficoltà: Facile

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

• 4 sandwiches
• 250 g of cannellini beans (already boiled)
• half a lemon
• 1 tablespoon of tahin (sesame cream)
• 16 Extra Virgin Dried Tomatoes
• 4 zucchini
• Extra virgin olive oil
• A pinch of chili powder
• A pinch of salt
• A bunch of basil

Procedure:

Prepare the bean cream: Rinse the cannellini beans and blend them with lemon juice, chili powder, tahini and basil. Mix until smooth and homogeneous.

Grilling the zucchini: Cut the zucchini lengthwise into slices about 2 mm thick. Cook on a hot plate for about 30 seconds per side, until you get some grilled strips. Season with a pinch of salt and two tablespoons of Olio Extra Vergine Classico.

Prepare the dried tomatoes: Drain the Extra Virgin Dried Tomatoes and gently dry them with kitchen paper.

Assemble the sandwich: Cut the rolls in half and spread the cannellini bean cream on both halves. Add the Dried Tomatoes and the grilled zucchini.

Serving: Close the sandwiches and serve them immediately, ideal as an appetizer or for an aperitif.

Tip:

If you want to make your zucchini sandwich even richer and tastier, you can add some fresh rucola leaves or a little spreadable goat cheese. This will make the sandwich more creamy and aromatic, perfect for a quick meal or picnic!
