Recipe: Garlic-Sauteed Romanesco Zucchini

When zucchini is in season I don't want to see it buried in breads or layered with sauces and cheeses. I love it when it's very simply prepared, letting its flavor shine.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 2 6-inch Romanesco zucchini, ends trimmed, 
• cut into 1/4-inch slices
• pinch of sea salt
• pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add zucchini slices in a single layer and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until golden. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then serve.

Serves 1-2.
