Marinated Zucchini
From Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home
A perfect way to use up a lot of zucchini and have a side-dish ready to go in the fridge.

Yield
8 Servings
Ingredients
1⁄4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
5 zucchini
8 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons mint, fresh
1 dash salt
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut them diagonally into long, oval-shaped slices, about 1/3-inch thick and place in a mixing bowl. Sauté the garlic in the olive oil in a small saucepan until golden. Remove the garlic pieces and set them aside on a small plate.
Drizzle the zucchini with garlic-flavored oil and mix well. Place them on a broiler pan and broil close to the heat for 3-4 min. on each side, until golden-speckled. Arrange the zucchini on a platter and sprinkle with the mint, vinegar, salt, and garlic.
This marinated zucchini may be kept covered for about one week in the refrigerator – but bring to room temperature each time before serving.
