Culinary Tips
The ideal result is zucchini slices golden on the outside and juicy on the inside. Turn up the heat when putting them in the pan and sauté them every minute. Do not lose sight of the garlic pieces, they cannot be burned, as soon as they are toasted remove everything from the heat.
Zucchini are very mild in flavor. Lemon and basil will make them shine. You can replace aromatics with mint, oregano, thyme, or any other fresh herb you prefer.
