Zucchini with tahini and feta

Ed saw a recipe somewhere, that he wanted to try, and who am I to complain about interesting new dinner ideas? This one turned out quite tasty, I think he got the idea from here. We used two different kinds of feta, because we had it - one for crumbling and one for frying. And the fried feta was AMAZING.  Good golly, go buy some firm feta and fry it, you'll be in love instantly.

Anyway, what we have here is a mishmash - there's a tahini sauce on the bottom. I wish I remembered what went into it. Lemon, salt, and probably a little water and/or olive oil.  Then rounds of zucchini, that we fried lightly on either side, as well as some rounds of the stem of a king oyster mushroom, since we had some of those in the fridge. Mushrooms fry up so nicely. We toasted the hazelnuts and crumbled the feta on top, and served with a few slabs of fried feta - slightly aged, I think, at least it tasted that way, and we got it from Sophia's, as we get all our tasty feta. We fried it in a little olive oil in a nonstick pan, and it was delicious. Oh, I mentioned that already? 

We'll make this again. Though, as is our wont, probably with totally different ingredients and methods.
