  • 5. Assemble a sandwich with zucchini slices and half of the fried onion. Place some chopped basil on top.
  • 6. Wash and cut the tomato into slices and lay it out on a plate, interspersing it with thin slices of courgette as if it were a carpaccio. Season with salt, pepper, a few drops of oil and lemon. You can scatter some basil leaves on top.
