Instructions
Cut zucchini in quarters lengthwise and then into ¾-inch chunks. Heat oil(s) in a 10-inch skillet over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Add zucchini and sauté, stirring constantly and gently. When zucchini is almost tender, add walnut pieces and thyme, and continue to cook for about 45 to 60 seconds. Zucchini should still be bright green in color. Season with lemon juice, grated lemon peel, pepper, and salt. Serve hot.
*Chef’s Notes: Walnut oil is available in specialty food shops and select grocery stores. It will turn rancid quickly, so please store between uses in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
*Optional ingredients are not included in dietary analysis.
Each serving provides:
An excellent source of vitamin C and fiber, and a good source of folate and potassium.
