This dish is truly refreshing – a perfect balance between the sweet-salty notes of the madzun and the lightness of the zucchini, creating a meal that is equally nutritious and refined.
  1. Prepare the Zucchini Spirals

  2. Wash the zucchini and grate them lengthwise into spaghetti-like strips. Avoid grating the seeded core.

  3. Place the grated zucchini in a bowl, cover with cold water, and add 6–7 ice cubes. Let them sit for 15 minutes.

  6. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium–high heat. Add the zucchini spirals and sauté gently for 4 minutes. When a cloudy, watery liquid begins to form at the bottom of the skillet, remove from heat.
