Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing the zucchini
  • 3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup sopressata, cut into quarters
  • 1 zucchini, cut into 1-inch discs
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 ounce canned crushed tomato, preferably organic

Directions
  1. Put the olive oil, tomato paste, and 1/8 cup of the sopressata in a large cast-iron saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture starts to bubble, for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the zucchini, brushed with olive oil and seasoned with a dash of salt, to a grill pan over high heat. Also cook for about 5 minutes, turning over halfway through. Set the zucchini aside. Add the crushed tomato, tomato, lemon juice, Sriracha, and a dash of salt to the saucepan and cook until it is hot, for 2-3 minutes. Add the sopressata and zucchini, cook for 1 more minute and then serve immediately.
