Directions

  1. Cut the zucchini into quarters lengthwise, then across into ½ - ¾-inch long chunks. If you cannot get small zucchini, try 8-10 large ones.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the scallions. Sautee until they soften, then add the zucchini and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Turn the heat to medium and sauté the zucchini until they have softened and have started to turn golden. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Check for seasoning and, if desired, add the lemon juice to taste.  Sprinkle with the chopped mint and parsley. Cook one more minute for the flavors to blend.  Serve.
