Cooking approach and texture

The technique here centres on step-by-step home cooking. Cook aromatics first where included, then add vegetables in an order that lets each reach a pleasant texture. Avoid overcooking so colour and bite remain inviting.

One useful cue from the method is to steam the zucchini in a pan and let it cool. When zucchini is cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in. Shell. Set pulp aside. Continue through the remaining steps in order so the ingredients come together with a more consistent finish.
