Zucchini in garlic, herbs of Provence and olive oil

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 zucchinis
• garlic powder
• Herbs of Provence
• e.g. olive oil
• Salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Total time approx. 4 hours 15 minutes

Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin slices. Layer them in a shallow, airtight Tupperware dish. Do this: Place a few zucchini slices next to each other in the dish, lightly sprinkle with salt, garlic powder (I only use fresh garlic powder because it’s difficult to measure), and Provençal herbs. Sprinkle with a few drops of olive oil. Then add the next layer of zucchini and continue until all the zucchini are used up. Let the zucchini sit for a few hours, turning the container every now and then so that the zucchini can soak in the juices. This dish makes a tasty starter or a great alternative to bread. I’ve often served it on fresh baguette as an aperitif, and it’s also a nice alternative to salad at a barbecue.
