1 ciabatta loaf

Olive oil

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over a medium-high heat.

Step 3

Using a vegetable peeler and peel strips off the zucchini until you can peel no more. Fry half of the zucchini in the pan until golden then repeat with the rest, adding more oil and butter if needed. Remove from the pan and set aside.
