SAUTEED ZUCCHINI

Provided by Boomette

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 small green zucchini, cut in finely slices on an angle
2 small yellow zucchini, cut in finely slices on an angle
1 teaspoon garlic, cut finely
1/4 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • In a big skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add zucchini, garlic, dry crushed red pepper and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until veggies have soften.
  • Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for firm, unblemished zucchini that are about 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they can be tough and seedy.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the zucchini in batches if necessary, to avoid steaming them.
  • Season the zucchini well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
  • Cook the zucchini until it is tender-crisp. You should still be able to see a slight crunch when you bite into it, but it should not be raw. Zucchini usually takes 15-20 minutes to tender-crisp.
  • Serve the zucchini immediately. It is best when it is fresh out of the pan, it will lose it crispness as it cools.

Conclusion:

Balsamic zucchini sauté is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a great way to use up fresh zucchini from your garden, or to add some vegetables to your meal. You can also use this recipe as a base for other dishes, such as pasta primavera or zucchini fritters.
