Marinated Zucchini, Roman Style

The presence of mint hints at Roman cooking.  Roman zucchini is slightly less watery than other varieties which makes good marinating.   Be sure to use firm and small zucchini.

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh mint, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly milled black pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds SMALL zucchini, cut into 1/4 thick julienne
  

Method

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, mint, salt and pepper.  This is the marinade.

Steam the julienned zucchini for about 4 minutes.  Be careful to not let the zucchini get mushy.  Drain and transfer to a salad bowl and pour marinade over them.

Gently turn to mix.  Gently, gently. 

Marinate for one hour. 

Serves: 4 - 6
