Oriental Zucchini (Courgette)   

Total time: 25 minutes
   Thinly slice the zucchini using a box slicer, mandolin, or food processor.  Sauté quickly, until just starting to get soft but stop while they still retain their shape.  Finish with toasted sesame seeds.

 Ingredients:  

• 1 medium zucchini (courgette) - about 2 cups thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion or 1/2 large
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp sesame or walnut oil
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1 tbs soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tbs sesame seeds

 Instructions:

• Slice onion. 
• Mince garlic. 
• Thinly slice zucchini. 
• Heat oils in medium, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion, and sauté until tender. 
• Add garlic, ginger and soy sauce and sauté briefly. 
• Turn heat to medium, add courgette and continue to sauté for about 7 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until zucchini is tender.
