Notes

  1. Zucchini slices should be very thin. 
  2. Since zucchini leaves its own juice into the dish, please be sure not to add more water then indicated. 
  3. Very thinly sliced zucchinis get burn so easily so be sure to control them while cooking. 
  4. You may serve it warm after 15 minutes of rest but for the best result I advise to cook it 1 day before the serving and make it rest in the fridge 1 night long. 
  5. I advise not to skip to add minth. Garlic, minth, olive oil and lemon juice combo is the key for the amazing taste.
