Sautéed Teriyaki Zucchini (Courgette)
Total time: 25 minutes
Thickly sliced, then fried in oil. The Teriyaki sauce added near the end forms a wonderful glaze.... Another variation for zucchini.
Ingredients:
- 1 yellow or green courgette (zucchini), 8 inches (20cm) long
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 2 tbs Teriyaki sauce
Instructions:
- Slice the blossom end off of the zucchini, then slice it into 1/2 inch (1 cm) rounds. Don't bother with the thin, stem end. (Slice as much as you'll want to eat; I did about 12 slices.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. The skillet needs to be large enough to hold all of the slices flat.
- Add zucchini slices and sauté 8 - 10 minutes. Check after 8 by lifting up with tongs and looking at the bottom; it should be getting brown spots on it. If not, sauté some more; if yes turn and sauté the other side. The other side won't take quite as long.
- When they are done the slices will have nice, browned patches on both sides and be tender.
- When they are done, or very close, add the Teriyaki sauce and turn all the slices to coat both sides.
- Continue to sauté another 1 - 2 minutes, until Teriyaki sauce has formed a syrupy glaze. Remove and serve.
