To save having to turn the courgettes over to salt the other side, put salt on the cutting board, or surface, sprinkle salt on the surface .Then put the courgette slices on the salt, rubbing them into the salt as you do. Then salt the top side. Done, time saved.
Thanx 4 the tip.
awesome
Yes, I'm a big fan of seasoning the cutting board before putting down the food, especially meat. I believe one of the famous chefs recommends this on his shows. Gordon Ramsay? Much less waste & better adherence.
Fantastic! Why didn’t I think of this! lol Thank you so much!
Great tip.
Just made this dish about 15 minutes ago. Holy cow!!!! The texture of the zucchini is to die for! My fried zucchini is usually oily and mushy. This one is almost crunchy! Plus that garlicky topping, yum!!! That’s it, I found my go-to recipe! Thank you!!!!❤
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
who just watches and won't even cook it but just...takes a break with your brain at this gentleman's channel? It helps me relax.
Looks delicious! May be good with a touch of lemon juice squeezed over just before serving 💚
Mmm yum ! I appreciate you having no annoying music in the video. I love hearing you describe how you are cooking as you go along. Beautiful dish ! I'm trying it very soon, thank you. 😍👍🌿
Much love :)
It's full of stupid music, what are you talking about???
The food is always great but the best part of these videos is your enthusiasm for what you're making.
Agree
Thank you! much love :)

Yes, his passion definitely shines through! And I really enjoy his soothing voice!
@Cristian Douglas That’s not any way to keep your girlfriend. No trust = No love
This is serious he best zucchini I’ve ever tasted. I just made this for a quick dinner as I had a ton of it. I usually hate how soggy it come out. But once again your simple salting technique with a little fresh garlic and herbs did the trick. Thanks! I’ll be making this again.
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
We are camping so no frying pan. Cut these length wise and made zucchini steaks & followed the yummie yum yum garlic parsley sauce and it was off the hook! Just another way to cook this lovely recipe.Thanks for this recipe,it's a keeper for sure!!!
Sounds great! Much love :)
This is exactly what I was looking for. Most other zucchini recipes require large amounts of cheese and/or cream and many other ingredients. I was looking for something light and fresh and flavourful without all the fatty extras. Thanks for this. Cheers!
Much love :)
What a simple, beautiful dish. I'd add some crushed red pepper to mine for some heat.
Sounds great! Much love :)
I was thinking the same thing!
Very precise directions
Thank you :) much love!
Hello Yvonne 😊
I’m part Spanish. I love your channel!
Much love :)
Listen! This dish was delicious! I was humming the taste was really fresh; the parsley and garlic mingled so well! This is an instant classic and is now a part of my food rotation! Yum!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
I may add some grated parmesan on top of the garlic mixture. Looks yum!
Sounds great! Much love :)
Exactly what I would do!! Yum!! Great job! Can't wait to try it.
You can never go wrong adding parmesan in almost any dish lmao
or manchego. I will try it
Hey Wow Mystique, I thought of doing the very same thing!
dishes like this make me so happy.
Much love :)
Dude treats the zucchini with respect!
😆 I was thinking the same
Hee hee. Yes, everyone deserves respect, even zucchinis!
@@marymary4093 😂
Looks delicious! Love the idea of salt and wait.
My late mom had this gentle touch with food and liked very simple, very wholesome ingredients. Plus a good look when served.
Appreciate how you prepare and provide details as to amounts required to complete dish in different measurements. Great👍
I so appreciate that you use both ml and grams! and American yields I get so confused when they expect you know what you were never taught
Thank you! Much love :)
I fell the same I really like that too!
You can search online and convert them.
Liquids are measured in liters (ml), solids are measured in grams (kg), distance is measured in meters (km).
Channels measuring liquids in grams are actually doing it wrong.
Money is in metric system (ten pennies=dime), ten dimes=dollar, ten dollars=ten dollar bill, ten ten dollar bills=100 dollar bill.
Water freezes at 0°, boils at 100°
Very clear instructions and demonstration, and your love for cuisine and detail shines through.
Much love :)
Be sure 2 grow this in your gardens. Time 2 get back 2 growing R own food. I've drifted away from zucchini however this recipe will bring me back. Thanx
I want so badly, but the slugs and snails are killing
Not too late starting it now
@@gabrielalibanio Put it in a big bucket with good soil on a balcony or other higher place.
Thank you for the salt to draw the moisture trick! I’ve been battling soggy zucchini for way too long!! Going to attempt this recipe tomorrow night! Thank you!!🎁
Sounds great! Much love :)
Me too. This helps
@@SpainonaFork I did the salt to draw the moisture and it worked, then I rinse the salt off! Unfortunately it was still too salty after I cooked them!! Perhaps I used to much salt and it drank it up? I really did use a crazy amount of salt!!
😬😳
beautiful, looks like summer
Yes! Much love :)
This has gone in my recipe play list. Quite a few of yours on there. Thank you from Cornwall UK.
Much love :)
Gotta try this. I may add some pine nuts to the garlic, parsley mixture.
Sounds wonderful!
Great idea! I will add red n orange peppers minced....
I use chopped walnuts instead of pine nuts in my pestos. Can’t tell. Much healthier nut.
That sounds friggen awesome!
@@aaronaardvark1361 your right. Also chopping pine nuts would be hard to do. But the pine nuts I buy from Costco have no skin on them. So it is a case, in my opinion, of health vs taste.
That'd be great toasted and just thrown on top
This randomly popped up in my feed, and I couldn't resist clicking on the video. I am definitely interested in finding different ways to cook zucchini, besides mixing it with chopped steak, or eating it with shredded cheese over a bed of rice. :)
Thank you amigos 🙏
Much love :)
I just tried this dish and loved it. Even my husband who doesn't like most vegetables said it was pretty ok. That's high praise, trust me. Perfect instructions, thanks.
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
I love zucchini! It's moist and has a delicate sweetness and minimal calories, and with some oil and aromatics and a bit of technique it can be really delicious while still being very healthy.
I think much of the hate people have for vegetables is because they don't know how to cook them in North America in a way that makes them palatable. It's either that they're boiled to death and unseasoned and people grow up hating veggies for that, or the veggies are served battered and deep-fried 🙄
I grew up loving vegetables, cuz they came straight from the garden. Ultra-fresh veggies are I was born in 1940, before all the GMOs, herbicides, herbs & spices, etc., were well known, & at 81 I still love thinly sliced, steamed organic zucchini with only butter, salt & pepper. Same for snow peas, green beans, corn-on-the-cob…. Doesn't mean I don't also like veggies prepared differently, which is why I'm here!
And don't forget, Mexico is in North America! If you mean the US &/or Canada, say so.
I love this channel! Simple ingredients...simple methods anyone can do.
Thanks so much!
And tasty.
Hola soy filipina y me gusta tu forma de cocinar.keep on making videos please.thank you
Much love :)
I just love this site! There is only one problem. Every time I watch it I am overcome with terrible hunger!🙂
lol....Much love :)
Parsley and garlic mix is a staple in our family. It’s like water to us Spaniards. Always available and used as the first for marinade or seasoning. To any meat
This is the third zucchini recipe that came up in my suggestions this week. And I agree, its quite incredible!!
Me encantan sus recetas lo explicas muy bien y son fáciles de seguir.Saludos de esta madrileña. en Australia
Saludos desde Castellon :)
I'm going to make this soon. Looks great.
Much love :)
I might add a few drops of olive oil to the parsley garlic mix and the add a splash of red wine vinegar...sounds divine
Well, the parsley and garlic mixture is lightly sauteéd in the same pan as the one used for frying the zucchini...which had sufficient olive oil for my taste. I opted for wedges of lemon to garnish as well.
I never heard that about treating the zucchini like aubergine and salting it like that. These kinds of simple dishes done well are game changers and this def sounds like one!
Much love :)
Chef Albert this is a fantastic dish!! Thank you so much!
Well done. I cannot wait to try this. Albert, you have such a nice, polished delivery.
Mom made this for years! So delicious!
@@richiejohnson 06
You chopped that garlic so perfectly.
Just made this with everything just picked from my garden and let me tell you it is delicious!! Thank you for such a quick and simple recipe.
Ohhhhh, lucky you!!!! and I have to go shopping and I could cry..... I want it now!... looks & SMELLS delicious!
My imagination is going berserk :-) !
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Going to try this for a light lunch as a bit of tapas thank you
Sounds great! Much love :)
Made this a few days ago and it was fantastic. I did sprinkle grated parmesan over the finished product, however. Will be making this again real soon.
Much love :)
I did the same! Just delicious!
Simple, unaffected, delicious. Thanks for the tip on how to salt the zucchini. Would also make a great starter or side with lamb cutlets.
Thank you! much love :)
Omg my grams made this when I was a kid! It was the only way she'd get me to eat a green vegetable!! (Those she'd also top the zucchini with fresh grated manchego or parmesan. Definitely make this tonight.
Sounds great! Much love :)
Maroula from Tennessee USA. I made this when I had company for dinner and we all loved it. Gracias!!
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
That looks wonderful.
I just had to come back and say, this totally changed the way I prepare zucchini! So delicious!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
To flip almost any solid food, large or small, I use a 12" pigtail food flipper as it keeps my hands far from the splattering oil. It's also great to extract pickles, olives, peppers, etc. from a jar. It's great to extract small slices of toast from the toaster too. I have even used the pigtail flipper to flip a whole roaster. It's now one of my most used kitchen and grill utensils.
Beautiful, elegant snd delicious!
Great recipe, hurray for vegetables.
Yes! Much love :)
Thank you, sir, so so much for those measurement conversions along with other clear instructions...and truly delicious dishes!
Much love :)
Mmmmmm just made this it's amazing! I decided to cook some crushed tomatoes olive oil and cayenne separately and added it at the end to eat with. So delicious I wish I made more 😅
Sounds great! Much love :)
I like every explanation from you...very clear ..and easy to understand. God job 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Much love :)
Yummy recipe, thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing and I love how simple it is to get the full recipe. Thanks so much. I liked and subbed. I like the way you present things.
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks great. As always thanks for your clear and concise instructions.
Thank you! much love :)
Wow! I can’t believe some simple ingredients make a vegetable taste soooo amazing! Thank you! This is by far my favorite
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Making it right now thankyou from California
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Omg it was so good so good ate the whole Zucchini yummy
So very simplistic, and looks divine!! Will be trying this beautiful recipe soon. Just checked out your list of other recipes/videos and subscribed!! I'm going to get to learn some new great recipes! And broaden our menu. Thanks for sharing 👍🙂
Thank you! much love :)
I remember having this in Barcelona when I was touring museums there. It was a street food. I also had street food pickles that were the most fantastic thing I had in all of Spain.
Sounds great! Much love :)
@@SpainonaFork Okay, now that we've done a great recipe for zucchini; do you have anything for zucchini's summer brother squash? I've got like 5 lbs of yellow crooked neck squash and i can no longer make The Native Three Sisters dish I love so much. help!
@@40bpaula want your 3 sisters native dish!!!
@@patriciarmuller6283 Oh sure. It's a family recipe. we used to have it with either cornbread or fry bread and a meatloaf dish called rumble thunder. Here ya go.
Three sisters Stir fry
1 tblsp Butter
1 tps ground sage
½ cup thin sliced onion or white part of spring onions
2 yellow squash, thin sliced into half moons
1 cup cooked or canned pinto beans
½ to 1 cup canned cream style corn
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
salt and pepper to taste
Garnish with 2 to 3 tblsp chopped green chilies and/or chopped pimento
1. In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sage and onion and stir and cook for 2 to 3 mins.
2. Add , squash , beans, creamed corn, corn kernels; Cook, stirring often, until squash is tender and mixture is heated through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste then transfer mixture to large bowl, garnish with green chilies or pimento;
Let me know if you like. Enjoy.
@@40bpaula I use my mom's recipe for yellow squash. Fry some bacon in your pan. I like mine crispy. While bacon is cooking, cut up your squash into thin slices. After bacon is done, remove from pan onto paper towels on a plate. Put sliced squash into hot pan. Then slice and dice up some sweet yellow onion, toss into pan with squash. Stir then add a lot of black pepper. Stir again. When squash and onions have stewed down to where they are done, add your cooked bacon and stir. After bacon is hot again, serve and enjoy. 😁
I never realized the salting part and removing the water thank you
Much love :)
Love the fact that you give us a link to the recipe, love love that. Recipe looks yum. And love that you just give us exactly what to do. Thumbs up 👍
Much love :)
Sounds fantastic! Will try for sure.
I want to encourage you towards using clean dish towel instead of sooo many paper towels 😜😊
I live in the united states, and in my area we are now past the final frost. After watching this video, I'm going right out and plant zucchini and yellow squash. What a delicious sounding recipe. We're having ribs for dinner, and I'm thinking this is going to be a side dish. Best wishes, Patricia
Sounds great! Much love Patricia :)
Have you noticed extra cloudy weather lately? A little cooler than normal? Will this affect crops and is Bill Gates doing something weather wise with HAARP or is China and what do we do to combat this war on our food crops?
When we had organic zuc and squash, we had problems with squash bugs (NOT with the zuc) that we decided to just buy our squash after a few years of losing the fight. 🤣
Oh YES!! This is one DEEE-LICIOUS dish. I will be making it this week. YYYUUUMMMYYY!!!
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Nice. Enjoyed the simplicity of the dish. Will make today!
Hope you enjoy! much love :)
Good video! And I like the fact that it's simple and most ingredients I have on hand or are easy to get. Thank you for sharing your talent in the kitchen!
Much love :)
I love your simple, tasty dishes, Albert. Thank you for sharing. 💚
Glad you like them! much love :)
Looks simple and attractive
Much love :)
I’m able to get garlic from Spain at my local store and it’s the best tasting garlic that there is.
That is awesome!!! Much love :)
Had this last night... and all I can say is Bravo! It was superb! I am saving the recipe as I have many more zucchini to plow through and I know this will be a welcome reward!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
I’m gonna tuck this simple, yet tasty looking zucchini recipe for summer. I’m still getting over having waaaay too many zucchini’s growing in my garden. I was running out of different ways to prepare them. This recipe looks so good that I’m actually starting to look forward to them again.
Sounds great! Much love :)
Did you know that you can blanch zucchini slices and then freeze them?
@@looloo4029 I haven’t tried that yet. I’ve got really limited freezer space at this time but would like to get a deep freezer in the future. I’ll try that method when I have more room to store them. Thanks
Thank you, made this exactly how you showed. Turned out perfectly and loved the spoon trick to flip them.
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
That looks so delicious and simple to prepare. Thanks for sharing.
Much love :)
I tried this and it was super delicious. Thank you for sharing from Taiwan!
Glad you liked it!! much love :)
Made this tonight (with some pan seared tilapia) and it turned out great. Followed the recipe exactly. The garlic-parsley topping is the highlight.
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
That looks delicious!
So simple, yet I can see how those certain steps make all the difference!
Much love :)
I am salivating over this recipe!
Much love :)
I love zucchini, but never found a recipe that brings out its flavour. I'm so glad I found your video. I can't wait to try this!
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Such a simple recipe..
Looks wow 🤩
Much love :)
As always another great recipe. Thank you so much 🙏 Love and best wishes from Istanbul 💘
Much love :)
Looking forward to giving this a try. I know the video was put on 2 years ago but who cares, it looks amazing.
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Mix plain yogurt , mashed garlic, and some salt and as a sauce put it on the fried zucchini, I bet you will eat your fingers as well
🤦♂️
I guess it is all Mediterranean
I agree with you
GENIUS!! making for dinner, thank you...with toasted baguette
And let me thank you again, it was Delicious and I have enough for tomorrow.
Seasoning the board first would save a time consuming step, just a suggestion. Best time saver is to place the vegetables in a bag with seasoning and shake for even distribution. Everything seasoned at one time.
Hey Kelly, what a cool suggestion, just don't shake too hard or you'll get broken zucchini (lol)
Hey Denise, thanks. I will remember to take it easy on the zucchini, haha
Thank you so much sharing precious recipe!
Much love :)
This looks so yummy!! I wish I could smell this through the screen!
Hmm... maybe the reason I don’t like zucchini is because I’ve been doing it wrong. You have convinced me to give it another chance.
Hope you enjoy! much love :)
Add some mint leaves into the garlic parsley mix, prepare the same way but serve it cold - nice fingerfood for hot days
This looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Much love :)
Omg, thank you; I live in NZ and we can only find tiny zucchini in shops, just a little bigger than a decent bean; so I decided to grow my own; but now I'm flooded 😂 this is a recipe I'll definitely make 😍
Been there lol. Zucchini slice is good. Uses a lot of eggs and cheese, but freezes really well so you can do big batches and catch up a bit. I wouldn’t bother with the hidden zucchini chocolate cake recipes. Well, unless you really really like cake. I tried it. It tasted pretty good, and actually it froze well too, but it only used up one smallish zucchini which wasn’t what I was trying to achieve. I can see why mums like it, because you truly could not spot any zucchini in the finished cake, but in the middle of the great zucchini inundation it was a waste of time. I haven’t tried a zucchini bread as yet. I probably will next time I grow them. It looks pretty decent and apparently freezes well too.
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Georgeta Pirlea, I live in Southern Spain but am originally from the States, and Zucchini Bread is very popular there, especially if you have lots of zucchini. It is actually a cake that yields two loaves.
3 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare 2 8x4-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Slowly add the sugar while continually beating. Stir the vegetable oil and vanilla into the egg mixture; continue beating until the mixture is thick. Add the zucchini to the mixture and stir.
Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl; pour into the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Add the chopped walnuts and stir. Divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. (Check after 45 minutes in case your oven is hotter than most). Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before loosening the edges with a knife and removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Just FYI, you can used frozen grated zucchini that is thawed. Works perfectly.
@@LS-gp7xy thank you so much, I'll definitely give it a go😍
@@SpainonaFork thank you for bringing back the good old zucchini in the limelight 😍 and also all these unusual recipes from other chatters😊
I've made something very similar many times. But my family likes a little cheese on top as well
I was thinking that a little parmesan cheese would be nice on top.
I was wondering when the cheese would show up!
Hello Linda😊
That looks delicious. Love the combination
Thanks for sharing. I will make this for sure.
Sounds great! Much love :)
very nice, my family in Singapore loves it
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
Looks incredible! I'm always looking for new zucchini recipes and this one is getting made today. Thank you :)
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Hey Albert. I just made this dish along with some BBQ grilled chicken breasts and it was fantastic. The Spanish Garlic Zucchini was so succulent and was the favorite of the dinner party. Thanks for the recipe. I love your channel.
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Thank you chef for making such easy to follow recipes using few ingredients!!! So so so useful!!
Thank you :) much love!
Simply delicious and oh so simple. Comes out great every time.
Much love :)
I did a parmesan garlic zucchini dish baked in the oven once. Delicious.
I will copy
Me too 🫢
