INSTRUCTIONS FOR FRIES

1
Wash the zucchini, dry thoroughly, and cut into fries 6 cm long and 1 cm wide. Salt them and let stand for 20 minutes. Then wipe off the condensed water with a paper towel.
2
Heat a higher layer of oil to 180 °C in a saucepan. Whisk the eggs in a bowl.
3
Coat the zucchini fries first in plain flour, then in whisked eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs. Immediately fry them in hot oil until golden brown. Place the finished fries on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess fat.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIP

Finely chop the chives, parsley, and mint. Mix them with the other ingredients and chill.

Tip

Caution: grate only the yellow part of the lemon zest. The white part is bitter.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
