Super Easy: Zucchini Side Dish

Acadia*'s Note:

I created this easy side dish for my DH who is very picky with regards to what vegetables he will eat.

• Total Time: 18 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup vidalia onion (sliced or diced)
• 1 zucchini (medium sized)
• 3 tablespoons dill weed (freeze dried or fresh)
• 1 dash salt (to taste)
• 1 dash black pepper (to taste)

Directions:

1. Slice up zucchini cross wise in thin slices about 1/8" thick.(Does not have to be precise). Set aside.
2. In skillet on medium low heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and saute onion, stirring frequently until tender about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add zucchini stirring frequently to lightly saute for 2 minutes.
4. Add 1 tablespoon butter and then sprinkle dill weed. Stir the dill evenly throughout.
5. Remove from heat and serve. Enjoy!

Very yummy and they were better at room temp than hot. I used a lot less dill, probably more like 1 tsp of dried, which was enough for us. Mine also took about 10 minutes for the zucchini to cook. UPDATE: On day 3, I reserved the left-overs to hubby along side his left-overs from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (chicken, crabcake, mushrooms) and with all that yummy food, he said, "wow, this zucchini is really good". Kudos to you on this recipe, Acadia.

Mmmm, I already love zucchini madly and this recipe really takes it to the next level. I love how the veggie soaks up flavors and gets a lovely melty texture. I, too, used less dill out of personal preference. Thumbs up all around the table--thanks for posting! Made for Veg Swap January 2012.

This was good. A bit too much dill for our taste--used 1 tsp. dried dill--and it turned out great, and was even better the next day! Thank you for posting this.
