Zucchini

Looking for an easy side dish this weekend? Then how about try grilling zucchini. Wash and then cut the zucchini lengthwise. Not too thin. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and add some salt and pepper and toss. Then place them on the barbeque or in a pan. A few minutes each side. Until they have those classic brown markings and not too transparent. It's a delicate balance. When serving them I usually drizzle balsamic vinegar, tis the season. I use balsamic vinegar a lot in the summertime. Some other alternatives would be to grate or shave parmesan cheese over top and serve. You may also like to add fresh rosemary and lemon juice with the oil and salt and pepper. Regardless, grilled zucchini can accompany any of your summertime dishes with ease. Have great weekend! - JW
