Zucchine alla poverella

Zucchine alla poverella is a traditional dish originating from Basilicata. It's usually made with a combination of zucchini, red wine vinegar, garlic, mint, olive oil, and salt. The zucchinis are sliced into thin strips and fried in olive oil on each side until tender and golden. They're drained, layered in a heatproof dish, and sprinkled with salt and chopped mint. The wine vinegar is boiled in a pan with salt, garlic, and mint, and the mixture is then poured over the zucchini strips. The dish is chilled in the fridge and it's typically served cold. The name of the dish means poor woman's zucchini and refers to the fact that the ingredients are usually available and cheap.
