Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Coarsely grate zucchini. 2 Spread zucchini out over a clean dish towel (one you might not mind losing). Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt evenly over zucchini. Walk away for 5 minutes. 3 Pack the zucchini in the middle of the towel, and squeeze it over the kitchen sink until most of the moisture is gone (and there will be a surprising amount of moisture). 4 In a medium mixing bowl, combine strained zucchini, garlic, basil, almonds, thyme, Parmesan, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir thoroughly to combine. Salt and pepper to taste. (Go easy on the salt; you might not need it at all.) Refrigerate for one hour. 5 When zucchini mixture is just about ready, pre-heat your broiler. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Broil until bread is slightly browned. (This will be quick.) 6 Top each bread slice with a tablespoon or so of the zucchini mixture. Serve and delight in your creation.

Food Trivia

During the Middle Ages, a lemon slice was served with fish because it was thought the juice would dissolve any bones that were accidentally swallowed.

Food Joke

Chuck Norris doesn't go fishing when he's hungry. He just chooses a lake to be soup.
