🇫🇷 French

A French braise in miniature: browned Zucchini, softened aromatics, wine reduced by half, and a slow covered cook that turns the pan juices into a silk-smooth sauce.

Instructions

1
Season the Zucchini generously and let it come to room temperature while the pan heats.
2
Sear in butter and oil over medium-high heat until a deep mahogany crust forms on every face.
3
Lower the heat, add Garlic and Black Peppercorns, and cook until translucent and sweet, stirring in the pan juices.
4
Add the herbs and wine, simmer to deglaze, and reduce until sharply aromatic.
5
Return the Zucchini to the pan, cover, and cook on the lowest heat until it yields to a knife with no resistance.
6
Rest the meat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, mount with butter, and serve with the sauce poured around, not over.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the black peppercorns in the oil before adding anything wet.
