Zucchini alla Scapece

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and slice them into rounds approximately 3–4 mm (1/8 inch) thick.
  2. Fry them in hot olive oil, a few at a time, until they are golden brown (about 5 minutes). Remove them with a slotted spoon to drain.
  3. While still hot, transfer the zucchini to a dish and dress them layer by layer with a marinade prepared with extra virgin olive oil, white vinegar, salt, pepper, sliced garlic, and fresh mint leaves.
  4. Continue layering in this manner, then let the dish rest for a couple of hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
