Categories : Side Dish Zucchini


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 cups sliced zucchini -- (4 to 5 small)
1 teaspoon dried mint or basil -- crushed
- or 1 tablespoon snipped fresh mint or
basil -
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese

In a large skillet, cook the whole garlic cloves in hot oil until lightly
browned; discard garlic. Add the zucchini, dried mint or basil (if using),
salt, and pepper to the oil in the skillet.
Cook, uncovered, over medium heat about 5 minutes or until the zucchini is
crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. To serve, sprinkle with the Parmesan
cheese and fresh mint or basil (if using).

NOTE: For best results, select zucchini that are small, firm, and free of
cuts and soft spots. Pass over large zucchini. They tend to have tough skins
and lots of seeds. If you're lucky enough to find baby squash, use them
instead.
