Yield 2 - 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds
3-4 small zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices, then into matchsticks
salt, freshly ground pepper
1/4 lb. pecorino romano, thinly sliced into triangular sheets with a cheese slicer or very sharp knife. If not available grated will work also.

Steps:

  • The key to this dish is cooking with high heat, don't add too much zucchini at once or it will steam and mush. Use 2 pans dividing the ingredients to keep the heat even. Heat 2 heavy bottomed skillets, add oil. When hot but not smoking add the almonds. Cook, stirring, until golden brown, approx. 30 sec. Add half the zucchini to each pan, toss or stir a few seconds. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 30 sec. Divide the zucchini on plates, add pecorino on top and serve immediately.

I'm not usually a fan of zucchini, but this recipe changed my mind. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. I'll definitely be making this dish again.

This zucchini dish was a hit at my dinner party! The combination of toasted almonds, pecorino cheese, and fresh zucchini was divine. I especially loved the crispy texture of the almonds.
