Recipe Instructions

Wash zuccini and cut into 1/4 inch strips. Place zuccini strips in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let stand 10 minutes to extract bitter juices.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy skillet. Add oil and heat. Rinse zuccini under running cold water and thoroughly pat dry.

Peel carrots and cut into 1/4 inch strips. Add carrots to skillet and saute 6 to 7 minutes, stirring, over high heat, or until barely tender crisp. Turn heat down to medium and add zuccini. Cook, stirring, another 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh basil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon onto heated serving platter and garnish with tomato wedges and whole basil sprigs.
