Zucchini Shreds With Ginger

Type: Cheese, Eggs, Vegetables

Recipe Ingredients

30   Vegetable oil
5   Whole cumin
10   Ginger - shredded
10   Green chili peppers - shredded
500   Zucchini - cut into long thin s
1   Ripe tomato - peeled, seeded and (medium) s
7 1/2   Lemon juice
  Salt to taste
15   Fresh coriander - chopped

Recipe Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat for 3 minutes.

2. Add the cumin, let the oil darken slightly (about 10 seconds) and add ginger and chili. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

4. Turn off the heat. Sprinkle lemon juice and salt to taste, mix, transfer to a serving plate and garnish with coriander.

Author's Notes: This is a nice spicy vegetable dish. It goes well with fish, especially catfish. I've always used zucchini, though it works as well with carrots or cucumbers. You can serve it as an appetizer or as a side dish, hot or cold. The recipe is originally from Travel & Leisure magazine.

I've found that this recipe works best if you use small zucchini, so that each slice has some peel (skin?) attached. Center slices without peel/skin fall apart.
