Zucchini sautéed with parsley and garlic.

This way of preparing vegetables with parsley and garlic, called «al verde», is typical in the area of Italy where I was born: Liguria. If your parsley and garlic base is made in advance, this tasty dish will be ready in no time.

Did not know how to cook zucchini. Now I make this side dish regularly, since it goes well with almost any meat or fish recipe.

This was delicious. Cook them at medium high temperature to prevent them from getting too soggy. Also the recommended portions are huge, we cut it in half as a side.

For a healthier version: I cut the zucchini length-wise (finger-size) and coated them in Parsley/Garlic mixture. On a cookie sheet (foil lined for easy clean up), I spread the pieces out and baked at 375F for 30min. Delicious!
