Moroccan Zucchini Puree

3 large zucchini
1 or 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt
Pinch of chili powder

4 oz crumbled feta cheese (optional)
6 green & black olives (optional)

Boil or steam zucchini in water until solft. Drain and mash with a fork. Add the garlic, lemon juice, oil, cumin, salt to taste, chili powder, and stir well. Garnish with feta and olives.

(I served it with roasted new potatoes & grilled ribs. Used feta but no olives.)
