BROILED ZUCCHINI



Broiled Zucchini image

This is a very simple yet tasty side dish. It is a Semi-cooked hot vegetable that gives a totally different taste and texture to cooked zucchini. I created this dish years ago because I did not care for the taste and texture of soft cooked zucchini. This has been a family favorite ever since. I am giving the ingredients for one serving and you can simply multiply it for the number you wish to make.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small baby zucchini (approx. 8 inch , not the big fat ones)
1 teaspoon melted butter or 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch sweet paprika

Steps:

  • Wash off zucchini, cut off ends and split lengthwise.
  • Lay the split pieces of zucchini cut side up in a lightly greased baking dish.
  • Pour over the butter or oil.
  • Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the cut edge.

  • Remove from the broiler, it will be cooked ala-dente' with about half of the crunch still in it.
  • It is easiest to eat with a sharp knife handy to cut into small chunks for each bite -- but make sure you get some of the spices and cheese with each bite -- hm-m-m-m.

ZUCCHINI SPEARS WITH ROSEMARY, GARLIC AND LEMON



Zucchini Spears with Rosemary, Garlic and Lemon image

This side dish is best made with tender small zucchini early in the season, not the behemoths of late summer. Don't stint on the high heat used to brown them; it helps create a pan sauce that is almost meaty (and good for sopping up with bread). Cut the zucchini just before you start cooking; otherwise, it starts to curl, and the spears should be flat so they will brown evenly.

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 large cloves garlic, smashed and skinned
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 small zucchini (about 6 ounces each), quartered lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Put the oil, garlic and rosemary in a high-sided medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer the garlic and rosemary to a serving platter; set aside.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and pepper. When the oil is very hot but not quite smoking, add the zucchini, cut side down. (Be careful: The cut zucchini starts to release water as soon as you salt it, so it might spit a bit in the skillet.) Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom side is deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully turn to the other cut side and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Now turn the zucchini onto the skin sides, turn off the heat, cover and let sit until very tender (the tip of a paring knife inserted into the zucchini should meet no resistance), 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the lemon juice and most of the zest over the zucchini, return the garlic and rosemary to the skillet and use a rubber spatula or tongs to gently turn the zucchini a few times to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the zucchini to the platter and pour the pan juices on top. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

BROILED ZUCCHINI WITH HERBS



Broiled Zucchini With Herbs image

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!
