Zucchini is prevalent in the United Sates during the summer months and is a low fat vegetable that is high in vitamin C. The zucchini has a delicate flavor that requires little more than quick cooking with olive oil and fresh herbs, such as basil. This is a super easy recipe, and is a tasty side dish to any Mediterranean dish. Ingredients:
4 medium sized zucchini, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup fresh basil, stems removed |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 garlic clove |
Directions:
1. Spray cooking spray on a large frying pan under high flame, and place as much zucchini as possible on the frying pan, laying flat.
2. After approximately 5 minutes turn the zucchini over. The zucchini should be browned a bit. Let cook another 5 minutes.
3. Place cooked zucchini into a mixing bowl.
4. Keep on repeating steps 1 and 2 until all zucchini is cooked.
