I have been trying to add more vegetables into our lives. Rob is fairly limited on those that he likes; zucchini being one of his least favorite. This recipe I put together after searching for a new zucchini recipe. Squeezing the moisture out of the shredded zucchini in a towel, seemed to make a difference in the texture of the zucchini not being so mushy and the red onion added some crunch.
Ingredients:
- 4 small green zucchini, shredded
- 1/2 large red onion, chopped
- ghee
- pesto, homemade or not
- feta cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Wash and remove ends from the zucchini. Grate the zucchini with the large holes of a hand grater.
Place the shredded zucchini in a cotton towel and wring out the moisture several times.
In a large skillet heat 1 teaspoon ghee or unsalted butter. Add the red onion and saute till softened. Add the zucchini and cook until just tender. Remove from the heat.
Add pesto sauce, feta, salt and pepper to taste.
Great side dish with just about anything!
The dish certainly can be tailored to your tastes: fresh garlic, parmesan cheese, mushrooms etc.
