You should squeeze a lot of the salt on the zucchini off and then absorb even more whth the kitchen paper. I put really a lot of fresh coriander (cilantro) in mine which was a great fresh element. I also added a little chicken broth, my friend and I loved it.
Sounds great! So glad you both enjoyed it!
