ZUCCHINI E CAROTE ALLA SCAPECE (SWEET & SOUR COURGETTE AND CARROT SALAD)

Zucchini alla Scapece is a classic Neapolitan side dish of fried zucchini rounds marinated in vinegar, fresh mint and garlic but I also love adding carrots to it as a little twist! It makes the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats and fish!

My contribution to this month’s #theingredientcollective collaboration hosted by @whennonnocooks and @thecultiveater where the star ingredient is CARROTS! 🥕🧡🥕

Recipe👇(serves 4-6)

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons of olive oil
2 courgettes, thinly sliced
2 carrots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon capers
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
A few mint leaves for garnish

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the courgettes and carrots in batches until golden brown.

2. As they are ready, remove them to a serving dish with a slotted spoon, leaving any oil in the pan.

3. Season with salt and pepper and scatter the sliced garlic over the vegetables.

4. Add the vinegar, honey and mint to the pan and bring to the boil, then immediately pour this over the vegetables and gently toss to mix.

5. Leave the dish to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.

To serve, scatter with the capers and garnish with mint leaves.
