River Caf remix:Zucchini trifolati | Daily Mail Online

In The River Cafe kitchen, we all have our way of cooking this – some like the zucchini (small courgettes) with more colour, others paler – but we all agree that the most important thing is that all the water is absorbed into the zucchini.

SERVES 6

12 small zucchini, trimmed

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced

125ml boiling water

a handful of fresh mint or basil leaves, roughly chopped

● Cut each zucchini at an angle into 3-4 slices.

● Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and then the zucchini, and cook slowly for 15-20 minutes. When brown on all sides, add the boiling water and stir, scraping up the mixture that will have formed on the bottom of the pan.

● Cook until all the water has been absorbed and the zucchini are soft.

● Add the mint or basil, season with sea salt and black pepper, and serve with prosciutto di Parma or mozzarella.
