Step 1

In a bowl, combine the zucchini with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and cook the zucchini for 5-7 minutes until tender and golden on all sides. Return to the bowl, add the majoran or oregano and pour over the vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons or olive oil. Toss to combine and set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Spoon the Stracciatella onto a small serving plate. Top with the zucchini and scatter over the walnuts and mintleaves. Drizzle over a little extra olive oil and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the juices, if desired.
