How to make it

1. Grate the zucchini coarsely, toss with salt, and let it sit for 30 minutes so it releases its liquid. Then squeeze out as much water as possible — use your hands, a clean kitchen towel, or a nut milk bag. You should end up with about 160 g of zucchini. Reserve the salty liquid for later.
