Cooking Steps

Cook the veggies
1

• Cut zucchini into bite-sized chunks.

Make it saucy
2

• Add herb & mushroom seasoning, the plain flour and half the garlic and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in light cooking cream, vegetable stock (see ingredients) and the water.
• Reduce heat to medium and simmer, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. 

Make the dippers
3

• Meanwhile, cut bake-at-home ciabatta into slices. Toast or grill ciabatta to your liking.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter and remaining garlic in 10 second bursts, until melted and fragrant.
