Neatly stacked on the outside, with a spicy sting inside: the Chipgate Stack.

This side dish mimics a stacked computer chip: grilled zucchini layers on the outside, a spicy feta-tomato filling inside. The neat exterior with a sharp twist within refers to Nvidia’s chips and the Senate hearing: proper on the outside, a sting inside.

Ingredients

2 zucchinis
200 g feta cheese
8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil
1 red chili pepper
1 garlic clove
2 tbsp olive oil
pepper to taste
fresh basil for garnish

Method

Wash the zucchinis and cut them into thick 1 cm slices.
Brush the slices lightly with olive oil and grill for 2 minutes on each side until nicely marked.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and chop them coarsely.
Crumble the feta into a bowl, add the tomatoes, finely chopped chili pepper, and pressed garlic.
Mix into a coarse spread and season with pepper.
For each person, build a stack of three zucchini slices, spreading the feta-tomato mixture between each layer.
Garnish with fresh basil.
Ensure the stacks are sturdy and upright, like a pile of chips.

Serving notes

Serve the stacks on a dark platter for contrast.
Drizzle extra olive oil around for shine.
Place the stacks in the center of the plate for maximum impact.
