Zucchini Pronto



This is a recipe my mom makes - thanks mom - and it is deeeee-lish! You can to serve in lieu of a salad or as a side dish...even a light dinner! And it is a super fresh, quick and simple!

4-5 Medium zucchini cut into match sticks (yellow, green or both)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 whole lemon - zest and juice
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese (* for vegan omit cheese)

Cover bottom of a large skillet with olive oil & heat. Add sliced almonds and saute until well browned. Add zucchini and toss to coat heating the zucchini but not fully cooking. Season with salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest and toss well. Stir in parsley, mix well. Turn off heat. Serve on a plate (as a first course or salad) and sprinkle with grated cheese before serving.

Bon Appetite!
