  1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
  2. For the marinated zucchinis, peel the zucchinis, lengthwise, with a vegetable peeler into thin strips. Whisk the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and Dijon mustard together. Add the zucchini strips to the mixture and season to taste. Refrigerate until needed.
  3. For the chilli salsa, combine all of the ingredients and season lightly.
  4. For the toppings, cut the sweet potatoes into 1cm thick chips. Arrange the chips on a baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil and curry spice. Bake until golden and crisp, 20 minutes.
  5. Arrange the rings on a baking tray and bake, 12 minutes.
  6. To serve, slice the baguettes open and spread the tahini sauce over the base of each. Layer the chips, marinated zucchini, chilli salsa, chickpeas, feta and pine nuts on top. Finish off with a layer of the rings and cut each Gatsby in half.

 

TIP: The baguettes can easily be replaced with ciabatta, if preferred, or mini baguettes can be used to make individual portions.

Wine pairing: Sauvignon Blanc, Overberg region
