The pancakes are poured into the frying pan with a special ladle or tablespoon so that there are gaps of up to 5 mm between them. This will make it easier to turn them over to the other side with a wooden or plastic spatula during frying. When the zucchini mixture in the form of circles is poured into the frying pan, you can turn the heat up for 30-40 seconds so that the pancakes brown and become covered with a crust, and then turn them over, cover the frying pan with a lid, turn the heat down and fry for several minutes until fully cooked. After the zucchini pancakes are ready, they are carefully laid out on a dish in a pyramid, that is, first they fill the bottom of the dish and gradually lay out several layers on top. Then they chop the pre-prepared greens, this can be dill, parsley, green onions, basil, cilantro, and sprinkle the zucchini pancakes with it.
