It can be used for flavouring in place of added salt or stock cubes in soups, vegetable dishes, pies, casseroles and dressings. Tahini and tamari are available at health food stores and large supermarkets.

7-Minute Sauteed Zucchini with Garlic & Basil image

The easiest, quickest side ever. Zucchini sauteed with garlic until tender, then finished off with a sprinkle of basil. So simple, so delicious - and in just 7 minutes, to boot!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 7m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium clove garlic (minced)
1 pound zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini, sliced into coins (halved if large))
Pinch salt & pepper
5-6 basil leaves

Steps:

  • Place a medium saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil and then the garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for one minute. Add the zucchini along with a pinch or two of salt and black pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally, until bright green and fork tender, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and top with basil leaves. Add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the smoothest spread, use a food processor or high-powered blender to puree the zucchini and garlic.
  • For a more pronounced garlic flavor, use roasted garlic instead of raw garlic.
  • If you prefer a thicker spread, reduce the amount of olive oil or use less zucchini.
  • For a lighter spread, use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of mayonnaise.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar for a brighter flavor.
  • Garnish the spread with chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve the spread with crackers, crostini, or pita bread for a simple and delicious appetizer or snack.

Conclusion:
