Zucchini With Parmesan

Serving Size  : 4    


  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/2         pounds  zucchini, whole
  1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
  1              stick  butter
  1 1/2           cups  grated parmesan cheese

Thoroughly wash zucchini and cut into matchstick-sized pieces (easy to do
with a mandoline slicer).  Toss zucchini with salt and place in a colander
or sieve set in the sink (this drains excess moisture from zucchini).

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until butter sizzles and just
begins to brown.

Press or squeeze any remaining moisture from zucchini and place zucchini
in the hot butter.  Toss to heat just until zucchini is hot, about a
minute and a half, but still crunchy.  Remove from heat.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over zucchini.  Toss to distribute evenly and
serve hot.
