Italian-Style Fried Zucchini
· 2 servings
Slice the zucchini
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut it into slices about 2 cm thick.
Coat in flour
Pour flour into a large bag and add the zucchini slices. Shake gently until the slices are nicely coated in flour.
Dip in egg
Beat an egg in a deep plate and dip the floured zucchini slices into it, coating both sides.
Fry until golden
Meanwhile, melt some butter in a large frying pan. Add a splash of oil so the butter doesn't burn. Fry the zucchini slices in the hot fat on each side.
Finish with lemon
Transfer the fried zucchini from the pan onto paper towels to soak up any excess fat. Now drizzle them all nicely with lemon juice. Don't skip this step — it's key to the finished flavor of the dish!
Tip
Serve with a well-chilled glass of white wine.
