Zucchini with Walnuts - - Zucchine con le Noci

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

Zucchine con le Noci: Walnuts go surprisingly well with zucchini, adding a pleasing texture contrast in addition to their nutty overtones. To serve 4 you'll need:

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 pounds (500 g) small zucchini
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 ounces (60 g) walnut meats
  • 1/2 a bouillon cube (vegetable if you want)
  • Salt
  • White pepper

Preparation:

Trim the tips of the zucchini, wash them, and pat them dry, then slice them thinly. Melt the butter over a low flame, then stir in the zucchini. Crumble the bouillon cube over them, season with a dash of pepper, stir gently, cover, and cook over a very low flame for a half hour. In the meantime, mince the nutmeats. Add them to the pot, stirring gently, five minutes before the zucchini are done.
