New cookbook version · Serves 4

Written to complete the family collection. This is a new version, not a recovered record of the original cook.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini, cut into 1 cm half-moons
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Method

  1. Heat a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Add oil.
  2. Cook zucchini in two batches so it browns rather than steams, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  3. Return all zucchini to the pan, lower heat and add garlic for 30 seconds.
  4. Season and finish with lemon and parsley.
