Summer flavour for Zucchini

Zucchini will soon be in abundance in the garden, or maybe yours already is. Here is just one quick idea for some variety to your summer veggies.

Slice your zucchini and then half those slices. Saute them in a little hot olive oil and add some finely sliced onion. When it is the tenderness you like, sprinkle with salt, then a dash of balsamic vinegar and then add a handful of freshly chopped mint.

It tastes great with rice when you have added a cinnamon stick, bay leaf and a spoonful of coconut milk to your rice when you cook it.

I had made an old recipe of meatballs in tomato soup (comfort food when I was a child) and so I added cummin, fresh mint, cinnamon, fresh ginger along with ginger chili sauce to the meat ball mixture.

It was a quick dinner, with a slightly exotic aroma and just something different.

Mint is the secret to this particular dinner.

Enjoy - if you feel like trying it.
