Chef Tips

Try this same technique with carrots and some spices like coriander or cumin for a different variation.

Preparation

Step 1

Grate the zucchini on the largest holes of a box grater (or food processor). Place into a colander and season with a pinch of salt. Allow to drain for 3 to 4 minutes. Place in a clean dish cloth and squeeze out most of the liquid.

Step 2

Preheat a large skill over medium heat. Add the olive oil, shallots and garlic. Season with salt. Sweat until tender. About 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the zucchini and cook until the zucchini reaches a spreadable consistency. About 10 to 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
