Ingredients

  • 4 Zucchini Medium
  • 4 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 10.58 oz Asparagus About 20 Spears
  • 5.29 oz Ricotta cheese
  • 3.5 oz Feta cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon Pesto optional
  • 1 Lemon zest & juice

Instructions

  • Thinly slice the zucchini into strips with a vegetable peeler.
  • Heat a frying pan or griddle pan on a medium heat and add half the olive oil
  • Gently fry for 1-2 minutes until just tender, turning over when slightly golden. 
  • Add the other half of the olive oil as you continue to cook all the zucchini strips
  • Steam (or boil) the asparagus until just tender for about 3 minutes. Drain, dry and set aside.
  • In a bowl add the Ricotta, Parmesan, Feta cheese along with the lemon rind and juice. Mix well until combined and smooth.
  • Line a 1lb loaf tin with clingfilm making sure that there is an overhang.
  • Gently place the cooked zucchini strips on the bottom of the tin, laying them widthways with a slight overlap (this will be the top of the loaf so make it pretty!).
  • Continue placing the zucchini strips around the edge of the tin, making sure that the ends are overhanding over the tin. You will be folding these over later.
  • Spoon in half of the cheese mixture and spread evenly.
  • Gently spread half of the pesto over the cheese mixture.
  • Place the asparagus spears on top length ways.  
  • Repeat with the remaining pesto, cheese mixture and asparagus.
  • Fold the zucchini ends over the top and add more zucchini ribbons on top to cover the terrine.
  • Wrap the top of the terrine in the tin in clingfilm (if you have enough over hang this is easier)
  • Place a light weight on top to compress the layers and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Unwrap the terrine and turn out onto a serving plate.
  • Slice, eat and enjoy!
