Preparation method
- Scrub the zucchini skin thoroughly under running water using a vegetable brush.
- Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Trim and discard the ends.
- Slice the zucchini crosswise to separate the thicker end from the thinner one.
- Halve the thick part lengthwise and slice each half into three strips to create batons.
- Cut the thin part crosswise into pieces so that all portions are similar in size.
- Cut each of these pieces into four parts.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil and arrange the zucchini pieces face down.
- Grill for about 2 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Lightly crush the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle to release their aroma.
- Turn the batons using kitchen tongs to brown the opposite side.
- Add the coriander seeds, season with salt, and add a little more olive oil.
- Sauté for another minute until the zucchini is tender and well-seasoned.
- Finish by turning off the heat and stirring in the lemon juice.
- Serve immediately.
