zucchini and tomato side



Presently this is my favorite side in which I am unlikely to ever tire.

The problem with zucchini that I've been served throughout my long and zucchini-despising life, is it has been overcooked. Bitter old zucchini with seeds cut into boring discs of varying sizes, breaded with an egg drench and dredge, shallow fried to crematory torrification. Huck-ptewey

This, OTOH, uses olive oil lightly seasoned with crushed garlic (removed) and muddled fresh rosemary (retained). Crudely chopped white onion, and ordinary button mushrooms added as a stir fry with seedless young zucchini cut into interesting shapes by rolling the vegetable a quarter turn with each cut on a diagonal. All this tossed in the oil until barely cooked through, same thing with tomato added at the very end to merely heat, but the tomato not cooked.
