Ingredients
Scale
3 zucchini, washed and sliced into 1/2” pieces
Salt as needed
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil (1+1+1+1 as needed)
Instructions
- Slice zucchini into 1/2” cubes (6 pieces per zucchini). Lay zucchini cubes on a cookie sheet lined with paper towel. Sprinkle salt on cubes and let sit for a half hour. The salt brings the water inside the zucchini to the surface. Turn the cubes over and sprinkle with more salt. Let sit another half hour to draw moisture from cubes.
- Rinse zucchini cubes. Dry with paper towel. Heat up dry iron skillet for 2 minutes until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add as many cubes as you can to the pan. Fry on one side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden. Turn over and fry the other side. Set golden cubes on clean paper towel. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to hot pan and add more cubes. When these are done, add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry remaining cubes. Let cool.
- On a cutting board mix chopped garlic and chopped fresh parsley together and dice as small as possible. (You can also grind together in a mortar and pestle.)
- When skillet cools, wipe out old oil. Add a new tablespoon of olive oil. Heat for a minute and add garlic parsley mixture. Sauté until garlic is aromatic. Do not over fry or burn garlic. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Let cool.
