Categories Simmer

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 pounds zucchini, peeled, seeded and cut into julienne strips 1/8" wide and 3" lon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill

Steps:

Sprinkle the salt over the zucchini in a mixing bowl. Let it stand for 1/2 hour, then spread the strips on paper towels and pat them dry. Melt the butter in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan. When the foam subsides, add the zucchini. Toss it about in the butter with a spoon or spatula until well coated, then cover the pan, turn the heat to low and simmer 10 minutes, or until barely tender. Don't overcook. With a wire whisk, beat the flour into the sour cream. Pour the mixture over the zucchini and, stirring gently, simmer 2 or 3 miutes, until the sauce is thick and smooth. Stir in the sugar, vinegar and dill, and taste for seasonings.
