how to cook Spanish Fried Garlic Zucchini Bites?
STEP 1
To prepare the zucchini, start by washing them thoroughly. Then, remove the stems and cut the zucchini into slices that are about 0.7 cm thick.
TIPS: Both zucchini and courgettes can be used for this recipe.
TIPS: For this recipe, it’s best to use medium-sized or small zucchini.
STEP 2
Next, take a large bowl and place the sliced zucchini in it. Sprinkle some salt over the zucchini and mix it well, ensuring that the salt is evenly distributed. Allow the zucchini to sit for about 20 minutes, as this will help release any excess liquid.
STEP 3
After the 20 minutes have passed, transfer the zucchini to a colander to drain off any excess liquid.
STEP 4
Meanwhile, take a small bowl and place some flour in it.
STEP 5
Roll each zucchini slice in the flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
TIPS: I highly recommend using specialized tongs when rolling those delicious green beauties in flour. Trust me, it will make the whole process a breeze and super convenient.
STEP 6
Now, it’s time to heat up a frying pan over medium heat.
STEP 7
Add a small amount of vegetable oil to the pan and let it heat up.
STEP 8
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the flour-coated zucchini slices into the pan. Fry them on both sides until they turn a beautiful golden-brown color.
STEP 9
Once the zucchini slices are fried to perfection, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess fat.
STEP 10
Moving on to the sauce, start by washing the dill and parsley. Finely chop dill.
STEP 11
Finely chop the washed parsley.
STEP 12
Place chopped dill and parsley in a medium-sized bowl. Add some chopped garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
TIPS: Now, let’s talk about garlic. Wondering how to chop a clove of garlic? There are a couple of options. You can either use a garlic press to get that perfect mince. Or finely chop the garlic with a sharp knife. Both methods work like a charm.
TIPS: If you don’t have fresh garlic cloves, dried garlic can be a suitable substitute. Just keep in mind that the flavor might be slightly different, so adjust accordingly.
STEP 13
Pour in some vegetable oil and mix everything together thoroughly.
STEP 14
To serve, arrange the fried zucchini slices on a plate and spoon a little bit of the sauce onto each slice.
STEP 15
Now, you’re ready to enjoy these delicious Spanish Fried Garlic Zucchini Bites. Bon appétit!
