Grilled Zucchini with Yogurt Sauce, Feta, Lemon & Dill
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 large clove garlic, grated or finely minced (see Notes)
- Kosher or sea salt
- 6 small zucchini (about 1 1/4 pounds), halved lengthwise
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 3 ounces feta cheese (about 3/4 cup), chilled
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- Grated zest of 1 small lemon
- Medium-hot coarsely ground red pepper such as Aleppo or Maras pepper, or hot paprika
- Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, and salt to taste.
- Spread the yogurt sauce on a serving platter large enough to hold all the zucchini in one layer.
- Brush the zucchini on both sides with olive oil and season all over with salt.
- Place cut side down on the grill and cook until nicely browned, and then turn and finish cooking on the skin side until they are tender, about 10 minutes total.
- Transfer the zucchini to the platter, placing them on the yogurt sauce cut side up.
- Finely crumble the feta over the zucchini.
- (This is easier to do if the feta is cold.)
- Combine the dill and lemon zest and scatter over the zucchini, and then sprinkle generously with red pepper.
- Serve immediately.
