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."

ZUCCHINI WITH SUMMER HERBS



Zucchini With Summer Herbs image

A simple sauté of zucchini that pairs nicely with fresh fish or perhaps baked chicken. The recipe calls for fresh herbs, but dried will work very nicely too or even a combination; just use 1/3 to 1/2 of the fresh amounts.

Provided by threeovens

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 6 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb zucchini
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh chives, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh tarragon, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse the zucchini and pat dry. Trim off ends and slice zucchini into 1/8 inch thick slices without peeling. There will be about 6 cups.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium high to high heat. Cook zucchini while shaking and stirring the skillet. Turn the zucchini occasionally with a spatula. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a sieve.
  • Add butter to the skillet until melted. Return zucchini. Sprinkle with garlic and herbs. Check for salt. Toss and serve.

Tips:

  • For best results, use fresh zucchini. Look for zucchinis that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • To save time, you can use pre-shredded zucchini. However, fresh-shredded zucchini will have a better flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have garlic powder or dried thyme, you can use fresh garlic and thyme instead. Use 1-2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Serve sautéed zucchini as a side dish or as a main course. It can also be used as a topping for pizza, pasta, or grilled meats.

Conclusion:

Sautéed zucchini with garlic and herbs is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give sautéed zucchini a try. You won't be disappointed!
