We slice them into thin slices, grill them up and serve with a spicy dressing and fresh herbs. Our zucchini salad is the ideal complement to any grilled meal, not only in terms of taste but also a great way to bring some color to the dish.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 green zucchini
1 yellow zucchini
2 cloves of garlic
1 red chili
½ bunch of parsley, chopped
Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground pepper

Step 1

First, slice the zucchini. The thickness is up to your preference but we prefer thin slices. To thinly slice the zucchini with a knife could take some time but if you have a sturdy, pure oak cutting board, the slicing should be easier. A mandolin could also be a handy tool to thinly slice the vegetable.

Step 2

Otto likes to dress the grilled zucchini salad with a bit of spice. If spicey just isn’t for you, skip the chili or substitute it for something mild like paprika. First things first: prep the ingredients. Chop the garlic, parsley and chili into small pieces. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl with olive oil. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

First, take out the grill grate so that it stays cool. Next, preheat your Otto Grill to the full temperature of 800°C. This will only take 3 minutes! Place the zucchini slices on the cool grill grate and grill them at the lowest height, Meat-O-Meter level 5, for 1-2 minutes on each side. Repeat until all zucchini slices are grilled. They should be a bit translucent and very flexible.

Step 4

Place the grilled zucchini slices into a bowl, add the dressing and mix well. You can serve this salad warm or place it in the fridge to serve as a cold side dish. Enjoy!

A rack of venison sous vide with chanterelles and dumplings

Oh my deer – this is delicious! Otto has returned from his hunt and is now going to grill a wonderful rack of venison: Due to sous vide cooking, the venison ribs will get tender as butter on the inside, while grilling on the Otto Grill at 800°C makes them crispy on the outside. Otto serves them with dumplings and fried chanterelles. Texture and aroma are unbelievable!
