Method
Step 1
Preheat a barbecue on high heat. Coat the capsicums and zucchini with 1 tbs of oil and the salt. Barbecue the capsicums and zucchini, turning, for 10 mins or until the capsicums are blistered and charred and the zucchini is slightly charred and just tender.
Step 2
Brush the bread with 2 tbs of the remaining oil. Grill bread for 2 mins each side or until slightly charred.
Step 3
Meanwhile, process the goat’s cheese and cream in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the goat’s cheese mixture over a serving platter.
Step 4
Cut the zucchini diagonally into 2cm-wide pieces. Arrange the capsicums and zucchini over the goat’s cheese mixture on the platter.
Step 5
Whisk together the lemon juice, shallot and remaining oil in a bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Sprinkle with basil and serve with the grilled bread.
