I’ve
finally found a way to cook zucchini and make it taste relatively delicious to
me. Being such a bland vegetable, I struggled with eating it during my
childhood as it always seemed to end up on our dinner table at least three
times a week, whether it was hidden in a stir-fry, roasted or baked. My theory
is that if you put garlic and fresh herbs with anything, you can make it appetizing.
Add a sprinkle of chilli for those that like it fiery and a once flavourless
vegetable is no more!
- 1 large zucchini, thinly sliced into rings
- 1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes (depending on how hot you want it)
- 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 heaped tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
- coconut oil
COOKING
1. Combine 1 tablespoon liquid coconut oil, zucchini slices, chilli and garlic in a medium bowl and toss well to combine. Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. When pan is warm add zucchini slices to pan so that there is no overlapping. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until slices are slightly golden. Repeat until all zucchini is cooked, then serve warm.
