ZUCCHINI AND SAUSAGE MILANO



Zucchini and Sausage Milano image

Always looking for new zucchini ideas and my kids like Italian sweet (mild) sausages. I add 1 box of cooked penne and split the portions into 2 aluminum containers and froze them. I will defrost it and reheat it in the oven. When it is warmed through, add cheese on top then until melted. This recipe as described makes 2 "dinners" for about 5. You can serve it all at once for about 10.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons white or yellow miso
4 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
4 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 small zucchini (about 2 pounds total), halved lengthwise
Toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together miso, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Preheat a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high. Season zucchini with salt and grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and crisp-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush with half of glaze, turning to evenly coat; grill 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a platter, brush with remaining glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be woody and have a bitter taste.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: To ensure even cooking, slice the zucchini into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the zucchini from sticking and burning. If you don't have a nonstick skillet, you can use a regular skillet with a little bit of oil or butter.
  • Cook the zucchini over medium heat: Cooking the zucchini over medium heat will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning. If you cook the zucchini over too high heat, it may brown too quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked on the inside.
  • Stir the zucchini occasionally: Stirring the zucchini occasionally will help it cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the skillet.
  • Season the zucchini to taste: Once the zucchini is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add herbs, such as basil or oregano, for extra flavor.
