Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchini and cut lengthways into approx. 1 cm thin slices. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry the zucchini in it for 6 - 8 minutes (preferably in portions). Now place the zucchini on kitchen paper, degrease, place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Keep the oil left over from the pan!
  2. Then peel and finely dice the garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the frying pan and sweat a third of the garlic in it. Dust with cumin and turmeric and deglaze with the stock. Let it simmer for 3 - 4 minutes. Finally pour the stock over the zucchini.
  3. Stir the yogurt until smooth and spread over the zucchini. Heat the remaining oil and briefly fry the remaining garlic and mint in it. Now the oil is drizzled over the yogurt.
  4. Flatbread goes well with it, of course!

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
