mandolin. Make about 5 to 6 thin slices
• Place them on a plate and cover them up with olive oil.
• Sprinkle some sea salt on top to soften.

In the meantime:
• Slice up the bell peppers into small strips.
• Slice up the mushrooms.
• Throw everything into separate bowls.
• Add fresh herbs and sea salt to taste.
• Pour olive oil generously on top, mix and let marinate for
about 20 minutes.
• Spread the marinated veggies on a Paraflexx® sheet on
Excalibur dehydrator sheets.
• Let them soften in your dehydrator at 108°F/42°C
for about 60 minutes.
To assemble:
• Take a nice plate and start with a slice of zucchini at the bottom.
• Place some of the marinated vegetables on top and a few
leaves of basil.
• Top with a new slice of zucchini.
• Put a spoon of cocktail sauce on the side of the plate and draw
a line with the "head" of the spoon.
• Finish with some fresh herbs out of your garden or some course
black pepper.
• Serve like this or warm them up in your dehydrator at 108°F/ 42°C.
Some tips from Marie-Claire:
• If you want a thinner sauce, add a little bit of water.
• These vegetable stacks are perfect with a fresh green salad.
• The longer these vegetables marinate, the softer they become.
• Enjoy as a starter, vegetable side, or main meal.
