ZUCCHINE SOTT'OLIO (ZUCCHINI PRESERVED IN OIL WITH HOT PEPPERS, GARLIC, AND MINT)
Steps:
- Cut the zucchini crosswise into 3-inch (8-centimeter) pieces. Cut each piece in half lengthwise, then cut out all the seeds and spongy pulp from the center. Slice each section crosswise 3?16 inch (41/2 millimeters) thick. (A mandoline or other manual vegetable slicer is helpful for this.)
- Make layers of sliced zucchini and salt in a large bowl, then toss well. Macerate for 12 hours to draw the water out of the zucchini. Drain the zucchini, then squeeze a handful at a time to remove excess water.
- Place the zucchini in a heavy nonreactive pot and add the vinegar and 1 cup (250 milliliters) water. The liquid should barely cover the zucchini.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir to redistribute the zucchini, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the zucchini slices are cooked through but still whole, about 5 minutes. Do not allow them to break apart. Smaller zucchini will take less time.
- Drain the zucchini and put them in a large colander. Top them with a heavy weight, such as a pot filled with water, to squeeze out the liquid. Let the zucchini drain under the weight for 15 minutes.
- Lay several clean kitchen towels on a table covered with cardboard. Arrange the zucchini slices on the towels, spreading the slices apart. Let dry at room temperature until they feel a little leathery and are no longer damp, 24 to 48 hours. They will shrivel considerably.
- Place the zucchini in a bowl and toss with the mint, garlic, hot peppers, and the 1/2 cup (125 milliliters) olive oil. Taste for salt and let the mixture marinate at room temperature for a day.
- Transfer the zucchini to a 1-pint (1/2-liter) glass jar. Pack them in tightly, pushing them down with a fork or spoon to remove any air gaps. Top with olive oil so they are completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 weeks before sampling to give the zucchini time to absorb the seasonings.
- Bring them out of the refrigerator about an hour before you plan to serve them to allow the oil to liquefy. Return any leftover zucchini to the refrigerator, topping with oil so the zucchini remain completely submerged. If kept submerged in olive oil and refrigerated, the zucchini will last for up to 6 months.
ZUCCHINI WITH CHILES AND MINT
Food writer Anna Kovel came up with this vegetable recipe as a way to use the small zucchini attached to the zucchini blossoms she bought at the market. "This sort of kitchen economy is always important, and especially so when you have a small European refrigerator," she says. If you can't find small zucchini, slice larger ones crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces after boiling.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add whole zucchini and cook until a fork inserted in thickest parts meets little resistance, about 8 minutes; drain. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch rounds.
- Heat oil with garlic and chile in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally. When garlic is pale golden (about 3 minutes), remove from heat and carefully add wine (it will splatter). Return to medium and cook at a gentle simmer until liquid is reduced to 2/3 cup, about 11 minutes. Stir in vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt; bring to a boil and add zucchini, tossing to coat. Simmer over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is soft and has absorbed some of sauce, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat; stir in mint. Transfer to a serving bowl and let stand 30 minutes, tossing occasionally. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:
- 1 Scrub the zucchini with a brush under cold running water. Trim off the ends. Cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch slices. 2 Pour 1 inch of oil into a deep heavy skillet or wide saucepan. Heat the oil over medium heat until a small piece of vegetable dropped into the oil sizzles. 3 Pat the zucchini slices dry with paper towels. Carefully slip about one-fourth of the zucchini into the hot oil. Cook until lightly browned around the edges, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the zucchini to paper towels to drain. Fry the remainder in the same way. 4 Layer the zucchini in a dish, sprinkling each layer with some of the vinegar, garlic, mint, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
