Ingredients
- 3 large zucchini
- 3 to 5 cloves of garlic
- Fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- 1/4 cup red/white wine vinegar (130 ml)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (230 ml)
- 2 cups oil for frying vegetable/sunflower/canola/olive oil (480 ml)
Instructions
-
Rinse the zucchini under cold water. Pat dry, trim top and bottom. Slice on an angle and make 1/8 inch rounds.
-
Lay on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Lightly sprinkle salt on all the zucchini rounds. Place in the sun for a few hours. Rounds will release water and will dehydrate.
-
In a large frying pan being oiled to 350°F, (180°C) fry the zucchini until golden. Drain on a paper towel.
-
In a serving fish lay the first layer of fried zucchini. Add sliced garlic, mint, red chili flakes, some vinegar, and oil. Continue until all zucchini are used.
-
Let it rest for at least 2 hours before serving so that the flavors come together.
