Time 25m

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
5 large zucchini (about 3 pounds total), 4 chopped into 2-inch pieces, 1 very thinly sliced into rounds on a mandoline

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups warm water
Lemon Oil, recipe follows

  • Let simmer, partially covered, until the vegetables are very fork tender. About 20 minutes.
