Fried Zucchini with Agrodolce

By Gabrielle Hamilton, from the Gabrielle Hamilton collection

Serves	8 to 10
Total Time	45 minutes

Ingredients

Zucchini

	8	zucchinis, sliced just under ¼-inch thick
	~	Salt
	~	Olive oil

Agrodolce

	3	cups cider vinegar
	1	cup sugar
	2	Tbsp. chile flakes
	3	garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
	1	cup mint leaves

Steps

Lightly salt the zucchini and allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes.
In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the cider vinegar and sugar just until the sugar dissolves. Allow to cool.
In a high-walled sauté pan, heat the olive oil to 325 degrees. Fry the zucchini until it begins to blister and is a light golden color.
Once the vinegar/sugar mixture is cool, add the chile flakes and garlic, and simmer until it begins to reduce.
Arrange the zucchini in a bowl, top with the mint leaves, pour the agrodolce over it all, and serve.
