About

Zucchini and mint seem ideally suited to each other. One of my students’ favorite vegetable dishes is a sautéed zucchini-and-mint recipe from my book, Every Night Italian. The important thing here is to cut the zucchini into narrow enough strips and sauté them long enough to develop a rich, sweet flavor.
