Step by Step guide

Step 1

If the zucchinis are young and tender, slice them into 1 cm thick rounds. If they are tough and old, peel them and remove the seeds, then cut into large chunks (in this case, you should end up with 1 kg of clean pulp).

Step 2

Season the zucchini with salt and pepper, then grill them in a skillet with olive oil until golden brown.

Step 3

Combine water with salt, sugar, lemon juice, finely chopped garlic, thyme, coarsely chopped chili pepper, mint, and marjoram.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir well, add the sunflower oil, cook for another 1-2 minutes, and remove from heat.

Step 5

Arrange the sautéed zucchini in sterilized jars and pour hot marinade over them.

Step 6

Seal the jars with sterilized lids, turn them upside down, and let them cool to room temperature. Then return them to an upright position and store in a dark, cool place.
