    Ingredients for zucchini gratin
  • Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. If the vegetable is not young - peel the skin, remove the soft inner part with seeds, and chop into slices. Put in a bowl, sprinkle with salt. Mix and leave for 10-20 minutes.

  • The vegetables will release a lot of liquid, which needs to be well squeezed out by hand. The zucchini will become soft, so they won't break even with strong pressure.
