Braised Zucchini with Barberries

We like to serve this as an accompaniment to simple grilled meats in summer, and the dish is perfect either hot, at room temperature or cold, so perfect for picnics too! For a vegetarian feast, serve with Puy Lentil & Pomegranate Salad and Haloumi with Za’atar and Oregano.
