Tip

Tip
If you’ve bought a whole focaccia to make the stack, cut the rest of the bread into squares, brush with some garlic butter and barbecue for a couple of mins on each side for quick smoky garlic bread.Good Food Vegetarian Summer

Method

  1. Halve the focaccia through the middle, then drizzle both cut sides with a little balsamic and oil. Brush a large square of foil with a little more oil, then sit the foccacia base in the middle. Top with a slice of pepper, roughly the same size as the bread, then spread with half the tapenade. Layer half the courgettes on top, scatter with a few basil leaves and half the pine nuts. Repeat the layers again, then finish with a third layer of roasted pepper. Top with the other bread half, then wrap tightly in the foil. Make up to a day ahead – or freeze now.

  2. To cook, place the wrapped stack directly on the coals (or on the rack if you are using a gas barbecue) and bake for 10 mins on each side or 15 mins each side from frozen.
