Zucchini is back in season and boy have I found a FANTASTIC recipe. It's different, healthy, delicious and so fragrant. I found it in a Food & Wine cookbook promotional.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs green and yellow zucchini
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup coconut flakes
3 whole dried red chilies
12 curry leaves
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
salt
Directions:
1. Cut zucchini lengthwise in half, then into 1/3 inch slices, like half moons.
2. Heat oil in pan til simmering over moderate heat.
3. Add mustard seeds, cooking for about 2 minutes, until they begin to pop.
4. Add coconut, curry leaves, chilis, jalapeno, cumin seeds and turmeric to pot. BE CAREFUL- THE CURRY LEAVES WILL POP AND SPLUTTER!
5. Cook for about 2-4 mins, stirring frequently, until the coconut begins to brown.
6. Add zucchini, mixing thoroughly, and turn the heat up to medium/high. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes.
7. Season with salt to taste, cook one more minute.
8. Serve hot with your choice of flatbread.
