How to level up my steamed zucchini?
As mentioned in the introduction to this recipe, a simple drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt are used to beautify our cooked zucchini. However, don't hesitate to add a pinch of pepper, Provence herbs or even cumin.

What should I do with the cooking water from my zucchini?
The cooking water from your vegetables will be perfect for watering your plants so don't waste it. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it will provide them with all the essential elements to develop well :-)

Which zucchini to use?
Long green or yellow zucchini to color your recipes! Instead, keep the round zucchini to stuff them :-)
