The ingredients for zucchini alla poverella (poor woman’s courgettes) are simple, but the technique is crucial. Do not skip any stages or you will end up with an oily mush instead of beautifully browned courgettes. Serve with slices of prosciutto crudo, salami and mozzarella or burrata for a classic antipasto.

This is from the August edition of House & Garden.
