Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup olive oil
3 large zucchini, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini slices and garlic; cook and stir until starting to brown but you want the squash to stay firm and not get mushy, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the vinegar, mint, salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining olive oil. Spoon into a jar and store covered in the refrigerator.
