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.

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:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Select firm and medium-sized zucchini for the best texture and flavor. Overgrown zucchini tends to be watery and less flavorful.
  • Grate the zucchini correctly: Use a box grater with the large holes to get long, thin shreds. This will help the fritters hold together better and create a more desirable texture.
  • Squeeze out excess moisture: After grating, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible from the zucchini. This will prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Feel free to mix and match your favorite herbs. Some popular choices include parsley, cilantro, basil, thyme, and oregano.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the fritters, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Zucchini fritters are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create crispy, flavorful fritters that will impress your family and friends. So next time you have an abundance of zucchini, give this recipe a try and enjoy the delicious results!
