ZUCCHINI AND CARROTS WITH GARLIC AND HERBS



Zucchini and Carrots With Garlic and Herbs image

I 'adopted' this recipe in August 2005. I have made it and think it is a great recipe as written. I hope you like it as much as I did. I also found it went well with a little lite sour cream spooned on top of each serving for a change. The following words come from the original person who posted this recipe: "A nice summer-time side dish. I suggest cutting the zucchini a bit larger than the carrots, since it cooks faster. Substitute dried herbs if you don't have fresh."

ZESTED CARROT ZUCCHINI JULIENNE

Categories     Side     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Lemon     Orange     Almond     Carrot     Zucchini     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large carrot
1 large zucchini
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Using a mandoline or other hand-held slicer, cut carrot and zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch ribbons. Lay ribbons flat and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch julienne. In a non-stick skillet heat butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté carrot, zucchini, and zests, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in almonds and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose young and tender zucchini and carrots: This ensures a crisp-tender texture and a sweeter flavor.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly: This helps them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This allows the vegetables to spread out in a single layer and cook evenly.
  • Heat the pan over high heat before adding the vegetables: This helps to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add a little oil or butter to the pan: This helps to prevent the vegetables from sticking and burning.
  • Stir the vegetables frequently: This ensures that they cook evenly and do not burn.
  • Season the vegetables to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: This is when they are at their best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Carrot and zucchini sauté is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
