Who would have thought that adding a squeeze of lemon juice into this stir-fried zucchini can give this dish such a great taste. I find it hard to believe to but you gotta try it out to know what I mean. This stir-fried zucchini with lemon is incredibly easy to make and my husband couldn’t stop giving complement on how good it was 😉
STIR-FRIED ZUCCHINI WITH LEMON
Ingredients
- 4 large zucchini
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 fresh red chilis stemmed, slit open in length and seeded and then finely chopped
- 6 cloves of garlic peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 Tbsp of grape seeds oil or oil of your choice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Leave the skin on the zucchini. Trim off both ends with knife. If you have mandolin slicer, this is a good time to use it, slice it to about 1/4-inch thickness. If you don't, you can still manually do this with your knife and try to keep the thickness consistent so they all cook at the same time
- Preheat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add in the oil. Drop in the garlic and chili and saute for about 30 seconds. Add in the zucchini slices and continue to saute until they lightly brown and soft, about 2 minutes. Add in a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and squeeze in the lemon juice and continue to cook until the juice has evaporated. Have a taste and add more seasoning if needed. Transfer the zucchini over to a serving platter and serve immediately
