Toss in a palm full of za'atar with this right at the very end and wow!
And don't forget the chopped garlic.
This is how my mother cooked zucchini and the yellow summer squash, minus the crumbs. She'd finish with a pinch of brown sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Use a larger pan to give all the ingredients space to cook properly
Made this exactly as directed, and it was good. Made it again with panko and garlic in place of the fresh breadcrumbs and shallot, and liked it even better.
Made this as written and substituting garlic for the shallot and panko for the fresh breadcrumbs. Good both ways, but I really like garlic, so I prefer the latter.
