1

Wash and dry the zucchini, remove the ends, and cut them into strips of half a cm.

2

Place the zucchini in a colander with a container underneath, alternating layers of zucchini with a little salt in each layer. Let them sit for 3 hours.

3

In a pan, combine vinegar, white wine, and water, and bring to a boil.

4

Once boiling, add the zucchini and cook for 1 minute (or an extra minute if cut thicker).

5

Drain the zucchini and let them dry on a clean cloth.

6

Pack the zucchini into jars, alternating with herbs.

7

Fill the jars with extra virgin olive oil, ensuring the zucchini are submerged.

8

Do not close the cap immediately; check that the air has escaped. The next day, ensure the zucchini remain below the oil level and add more oil if necessary.

9

Consume after 30 days.
