METHOD
FOR THE SCAPECE
-
Toss sliced zucchini with 2 tbsp. of kosher salt, and mix well. Let sit for 30 minutes. Drain on baking rack or paper towels.
-
Mix garlic, mint, white wine vinegar, and ¼ cup of the olive oil together in a bowl to form a vinaigrette. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
-
Heat remaining olive oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F. Fry the zucchini in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until zucchini turns golden brown. Let oil come back to temperature after each batch.
-
Drain zucchini on paper towel, and then mix with the vinaigrette. Refrigerate until ready to use.
FOR THE SAUCE
-
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic, and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste, and cook another minute.
-
Add remaining ingredients, mix well, and let simmer for 15 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently. Adjust seasoning as needed.
ASSEMBLY
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
-
Brush the flatbread tops with olive oil. Divide the tomato sauce evenly and spread on the breads.
-
Evenly divide and layer 1 oz. Feta crumbles, zucchini, red onion, and top with 1 oz. crumbled Feta. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until Feta cheese is slightly melted.
-
Remove from oven. Garnish each flatbread with fresh mint leaves and balsamic glaze.
