Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
3 zucchini, sliced into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 vine-ripened tomato, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the olive oil and heat until it shimmers. Add half of the zucchini slices so they lay in one single layer. Cook until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Flip each slice and cook an additional 4 minutes to brown the other side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and continue with the remaining oil, zucchini and salt. Place drained zucchini on a platter and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
  • When all the zucchini has been removed, turn off the heat and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Add the anchovy paste and break apart with a wooden spoon until it dissolves and smells toasted. Add the capers, oregano, red pepper flakes and tomato. Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir. Spoon the tomato mixture over the zucchini and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.

Yield serves 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds small zucchini
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 plump garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
6 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup drained small capers
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
A heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan, 12-inch diameter or larger

Steps:

  • Trim the ends of the zucchini, and slice them into 1/4-inch-thick sticks, 2 to 3 inches long.
  • Pour the olive oil into the big skillet, and set it over medium heat. Toss in the garlic cloves, cook for a minute or so, until sizzling, then drop the chopped anchovy into the pan. Cook, stirring, another minute or two, until the anchovy melts in the oil.
  • Scatter the zucchini sticks in the skillet, and toss and stir to coat them in oil. Season with salt, and cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini are cooked through, limp, and lightly caramelized. Finally, toss in the capers and cook another minute or two to blend the flavors. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound spaghetti
Salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
4 anchovy filets, rinsed and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, optional
Parmesan for grating, optional

Steps:

  • Put the spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted rapidly boiling water and cook only until firmly al dente. (Depending on the brand of pasta, this will be 8 to 10 minutes, but check frequently to see. )
  • While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, without letting it brown. Stir in the anchovies, capers and red pepper and cook for a half-minute more, then turn off the heat.
  • Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour in the garlic mixture, add the parsley, if using, and toss well to coat. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.
