Bring a large amount of water to boil.
At boiling point, add salt.
Meanwhile, wash and scrub the skin of the zucchini
Under cold running water with a kitchen brush.
Cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise.
Then, again, cut them in two to get four slices.
Scoop out the seeds with a small kitchen knife.
Cut into large cubes.
Plunge the zucchini cubes into boiling water for 3 minutes.
Scoop them out with the help of a spider slotted spoon.
Douse under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
Drain in a colander.
Arrange the zucchini
In a nice bowl.
Drizzle some fragrant olive oil,
Dust a nice pinch of ground cumin, and
Sprinkle whole coriander leaves over the zucchini.
Salt to taste.
- “Elementary, my dear Watson!” -
It’s all about cooking the zucchini “al dente.”
- I always remove the zucchini seeds
because they make the zucchini dish bitter and mushy.
- If you like, use a cumin-flavored oil.
