Περιγραφή
This olive-oil-based zucchini dish is served as a meze at weddings, but also as an everyday main course together with yogurt and garlic, or as an accompaniment to fish and meat.
Εκτέλεση
For the kamapak tsintme (zucchini in its own sweet juices) start by heating the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and lightly sauté the onion for about 2 minutes, until translucent. Add the zucchinis and continue sautéing for another 6–7 minutes, until the zucchini softens and is left with very little liquid. Add the tomatoes, garlic, and salt and pepper. Cook for another 15–20 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated, the dish has become syrupy and glossy, but the zucchinis and tomatoes are not mushy and still hold their shape slightly. Remove from the heat, add the mint, and stir gently. Serve the dish lukewarm. It is equally enjoyable the next day, even cold.
