Doesn't it look like pasta? The idea is from the NY Times magazine. I prepared just one portion for myself during a small break between a potato salad and putting up plum jam for winter... a quick lunch so I don't faint from hunger by the stove.
Ingredients
1 small zucchini
3 sprigs parsley
3 sprigs dill
1 large garlic clove
salt, pepper, chili
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon parmesan
Servings: 1
How to prepare pan-fried zucchini with garlic and herbs
- Cut the zucchini into long thin slices using a vegetable peeler. Cut strips until you reach the middle of the zucchini, the seedy part. This part is not used. Salt the zucchini.
- Grease a non-stick pan with oil, crush the garlic clove and add the zucchini strips. Sauté for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the chopped herbs, stir quickly, adjust salt and pepper and add chili if desired.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with parmesan.
