Combine wine vinegar with cream and olive oil, add herbs, salt and ground cumin to taste. Pour the dressing over the vegetables, stir and serve.

Create a delicious deep-fried zucchini appetizer with hot sauce. Cut the zucchini into long, thin cubes, each 1 cm wide. Place them in a bowl, adding paprika, ground oregano, black pepper and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly. Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat over high heat. Using a slotted spoon, dip the zucchini in small portions in boiling oil, fry them for 2 minutes until golden brown. Place the cooked courgettes on a paper towel or in a colander to remove any remaining oil. Serve hot.
