For those who have mint leaves and zucchini taking over the vegetable patch, this is simple. This tangy dish can be used as a relish inside panini or sandwiches, or on the side.

Directions

  • Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini slices and garlic; cook and stir until starting to brown but you want the squash to stay firm and not get mushy, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the vinegar, mint, salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining olive oil. Spoon into a jar and store covered in the refrigerator.

I had mint and zucchini that I needed to use and I have to admit that I made a half batch of this as an expirement - because I was a little afraid I would hate it. I love it! I sliced the zucchini a little thicker so it wouldn't get too soft. Excellent interesting and refreshing! I'm so glad I tried it. Thanks for the recipe a keeper! Read More

Maybe it was the type of mint I used but this recipe just wasn't it for me. I found the mint to be overwhelming and it just wasn't what I was expecting. I was just trying to use up some zucchini so it's no great loss. Read More

If you can cook the zucchini in a grill pan the better. You need high heat and brown/sear marks on them and they should not be overcooked. They need to have a tender crunch to them. If you dont like mint then this recipe is NOT for you. Read More

I had some "baby" zucchini that I needed to use plus an abundance of mint in my garden so was delighted when I saw this recipe. If I made this again I'd use canola oil to avoid the "congealed" olive oil after it had chilled for several hours but I seriously doubt that I will make it again. It just wasn't quite the taste I hoped it would be. Read More

Really did not care for this at all. I thought the flavor was a bit unappealing. Read More
