Julienne with zucchini

4 servings

30 minutes

Zucchini julienne is an exquisite dish of French cuisine that combines the tenderness of mushrooms and the freshness of young zucchinis. Originally, julienne emerged in France as a method of finely slicing ingredients, but over time this name became associated with baked dishes featuring sauce and cheese. In this version, juicy mushrooms are sautéed in aromatic olive oil and then complemented by soft zucchini cubes, creating a harmony of flavors. Turmeric adds warm spicy notes while fresh herbs provide a light zestiness. Grated hard cheese transforms the baked mixture into a golden crust, and pumpkin seeds add a crunchy texture. Served hot, this julienne delights with its creamy-vegetable flavor and pairs perfectly with crispy baguette or delicate white wine.
