COOK'S TIP

Nigella seeds are black drop-shaped seeds that are traditionally used as a spice in Indian, Middle Eastern and North African cuisines. They have a slightly bitter, pungent flavour. Available at Harris Farm Markets, Asian food stores and online. You can replace the nigella seeds with black sesame seeds or white sesame seeds, although the flavour will differ slightly.

PREP 25 MINS (+ 20 MINS STANDING) COOK 40 MINS SERVES 6 (AS A LIGHT MEAL)

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 (about 325g) zucchini
  • 2 green shallots, finely sliced
  • 1/2 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 small bunch mint, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 75g (½ cup) plain flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder or gluten-free baking powder
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, plus extra, to serve
  • 1 tbsp nigella seeds, plus extra, to serve (see Cook's tip)

1 Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-forced). Line a 25cm round ovenproof dish or cake tin with baking paper. Drizzle with 2 tsp oil to cover the surface.
