Easy, classically Mediterranean, this zucchini emerges from the broiler with a still somewhat firm texture, coated with a lemony glaze and flavored with sweet herbs. This is also good grilled over the coals in good weather. Try cutting this on the diagonal to make elongated oval slices, good for both broiling and grilling techniques. This recipe is from Moosewood Low Fat Favorites! Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley |
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion |
1 teaspoon minced fresh mint leaves |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 dash salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
5 cups sliced zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1 tomato, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Preheat the broiler.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, mint, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Toss the zucchini and tomatoes with this mixture until evenly coated.
4. Place the vegetables on a baking sheet and broil for 8 to 10 minutes, until the zucchini is just tender.
5. Serve immediately.
