Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the oven to 325°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm up 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Into the skillet, add green zucchini, half of the scallions, half of the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir them frequently until the zucchini softens and starts to brown slightly; this should take around 5 minutes. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and transfer its contents into a large bowl for later use.
- 2Begin by washing the skillet. Proceed by cooking the yellow zucchini in the same skillet with a teaspoon of olive oil, scallions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine this mixture with the previously cooked green zucchini in a bowl and allow it to cool. Once cooled, drain any excess liquid before discarding it.
