summery side dish to grilled food

Quarter the zucchini lengthwise and cut the quarters into approximately 5-6 cm long pieces. Finely slice the garlic clove. Heat the olive oil and fry the zucchini until lightly browned, using little oil. Reduce the heat and add the garlic. Don’t overcook; the zucchini and garlic should still have some bite. Mix the lemon juice with salt and pepper until the salt has dissolved, then stir into the zucchini. Finely chop the flat-leaf parsley and stir in along with the capers or capers, seasoning to taste if desired. Let stand for at least 2 hours. Delicious with grilled food or with some sheep’s milk feta as a simple starter.
