Sauteed Zucchini With Almonds - zucchini

Method

• I didn't put any quantities for the ingredients because this is a simple, free-wheeling recipe. You can pick your own proportions of zucchini and almonds. What I describe below is what I normally make for my husband and me.
• Cut two medium zucchinis into matchstick-sized pieces.
• Film the bottom of a saute pan with olive oil and heat it a little.
• Add a handful of slivered almonds.
• Stir the almonds to warm them up, but don't let them turn color.
• Add the zucchini sticks to your pan and toss them with the almonds. Again, aim to warm up the zucchini while getting the almonds slightly toasted.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
• Notes:
• Any recipe that says serve immediately should be banned from your holiday recipe lists. This recipe will not work well for a large holiday or family gathering!
• I buy slivered almonds at the grocery store, put them in a plastic container and keep them in the freezer. They stay separate so you can use them for this recipe right from the freezer.
