There's enough moisture in the zucchini to braise this simple side dish. Although it needs to be cooked at the last minute, you can chop the leek and zucchini up to a day ahead; refrigerate the vegetables in separate zip-top plastic bags. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
2 cups finely chopped leek (about 2 large) |
6 cups finely chopped zucchini (about 5 small) |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leek; sauté for 2 minutes. Add zucchini, salt, and garlic. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook over medium-high heat 10 minutes or until most of liquid evaporates. Serve immediately. |
