Spanish Garlic Zucchini

 

While browsing through YouTube one day, I came across a most interesting way to prepare zucchini.  The zucchini was sliced and salted then left to rest for 30 minutes.  By doing this it gave the zucchini a really nice texture.  

You have to be a garlic lover for this one. It is really delicious

I hope you give it a try.

Spanish Garlic Zucchini

Ingredients

• 2 zucchini
• 6 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley
• sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Cut 2 zucchinis (washed and patted dry) into thick rounds that are 1/2 inch thick, season zucchini with sea salt on both sides, then add to a colander, let them rest for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, roughly chop 6 cloves of garlic and add to a mortar, roughly chop 1/4 cup fresh parsley and add to the mortar. season with a little sea salt and using a pestle pound down until well combined, set aside.
3. After 30 minutes, transfer the zucchini slices on to paper towels (in a single layer) and pat completely dry.  Season with black pepper just on one side.
4. Heat a non stick fry pan on a medium high heat.  Add slices of zucchini in a single layer, so cook in batches, after 2 1/2 minutes flip the zucchini slices and cook on other side for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove zucchini from pan and transfer onto a dish, continue to cook in batches until done.
5. Once the zucchini is done, transfer to a serving dish, then using the same pan, lower to a low medium heat.  Add a little water to the pan and then the garlic and parsley mixture.  Mix and cook for 25 to 30 seconds.  Then spread the mixture over the zucchini. Enjoy!  

This make 4 servings as a side dish or 2 servings as a main dish.
