Method
- 1 Cut the zucchini into 5mm thick slices, spread them out on a tray, and let them air dry for 30 minutes.
- 2 Fry the zucchini slices in hot oil at 175 degrees for 2 minutes until golden brown, then remove and drain.
- 3 Layer the fried zucchini slices, then sprinkle with salt, garlic slices, and mint leaves, continuing to create multiple layers.
- 4 Heat the vinegar until warm, then pour it over the layers of squash while the squash is still hot.
- 5 Pouring hot vinegar over hot squash is crucial; if both are cold, the squash won't absorb the vinegar.
- 6 Refrigerate for 4 hours, then drizzle with olive oil and serve at room temperature.
