Ingredients for 8 servings:

  • 4 zucchini, preferably straight shape
  • 2 lemons or limes
  • 1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley
  • Salt and pepper, freshly ground
  • Olive oil, very good

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

ideal as a starter or as part of an Italian buffet – quick and effective

Cut the zucchini into thin slices (lengthwise) with a vegetable peeler, season well with salt, and let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour (perhaps turning occasionally during this time). Then add freshly squeezed lemon juice (or lime, if you have it), good-quality olive oil (amount to taste), freshly ground pepper (mixed pepper looks nice), and fresh, finely chopped parsley. It’s done. It’s super tasty and, when beautifully presented, a real hit. It’s also ideal as a side dish for a barbecue; it always goes well with ciabatta or baguette.
