chili flakes, and salt and pepper. Set aside at least 1 hour.

Place zucchini slices on the grill and cook until tender but not really
soft. Remove from grill and place in medium bowl. Add lemon zest, whole
chives, plum tomato pieces, vinegar and chopped parsley. Toss gently to
coat zucchini and divide among 4 plates. Place 3 boconcini on top of each
pile of zucchini and set aside. Stack all prosciutto directly on top of one
another and cut across the slice into matchstick julienne. Sprinkle over
mozzarella and zucchini and serve immediately.
