Another warm pasta salad with peanut dressing - this one has the addition of ginger to add a little heat.
Grilled Turkey Teriyaki Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes2 - 4 turkey cutlets, depending on size 12oz total (360gr)
2 - 3 tbs Teriyaki marinade
This is very work intensive: Open bottle of Teriyaki marinade and pour some on the turkey cutlets. Set aside to marinate for a bit. When ready cook on barbecue grill for 2 - 3 minutes per side or under broiler for same amount of time or sauté in nonstick skillet for 3 - 5 minutes a side - in all cases cook until done.
Warm Zucchini Pasta Salad / Peanut Ginger Dressing Time: 30 minutes1 zucchini (courgette), about 8" long (20cm)
2 cloves garlic
1 tbs fresh ginger
1 red onion
1/2 red pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp sesame or walnut oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1 cup pasta, penne, rigatoni
Peanut Ginger Dressing
1 1/2 tbs peanut butter I used creamy
1 1/2 tbs Dijon-style mustard
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tbs sesame or walnut oil
1 1/2 tbs olive oil
4 tsp white Balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp powdered ginger
Cook pasta according to package directions. When done drain.
Slice onion, mince garlic and ginger. Slice the red pepper the long way then cut slices in half. Cut zucchini in half the long way, then into 1/4" (6cm) slices. Heat oils in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, sauté 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, pepper and zucchini; turn heat to medium and sauté 6 - 10 minutes longer, depending on how crisp/done you like. When done to your liking add Dressing and pasta, toss to combine and serve. I sautéed the veg just until the zucchini started to get limp, about 7 minutes.
Peanut Ginger Dressing: Combine peanut butter, mustard, ginger and soy sauce in small bowl. Whisk to combine completely. Add vinegar and oils, whisk well.
