Préparation

1. 1

   Slice zucchini.: Start by slicing the zucchini into thick slices (2 to 3cm). Then cut them into quarters or halves (depending on how big they are).

2. 2

   Stir-fry with olive oil, garlic, paprika and herbs.: Heat the olive oil on a medium high heat in a sauté pan or frying pan. Add the zucchini slices and stir-fry for a minute or two. Add the garlic, along with the paprika and dried herbs. Also grind over plenty of salt and pepper. Stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the zucchini is softened but not mushy.

3. 3

   Add lemon zest and check seasoning.: Stir ½ to 1 teaspoons lemon zest through the pan of zucchini (to taste). Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.

4. 4

   Put into a serving dish and garnish.: Put the zucchini into a small serving dish. Squeeze over a little lemon juice, if you like. Then drizzle with a little more olive oil, and sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while still hot.
