Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

A simple execution that truly elevated this humble vegetable. My daughter and I gobbled it up, and still wanted more. I cannot think of when that has ever happened with zucchini.

The cook is instructed to coarsely grate the zucchini, I turned to my mandolin, used the coarsest tool, and ended up with 1/4 inch wide sticks. I think this was larger than the recipe intended, but it worked well.

I sauteed the zucchini in a scant T olive oil, and cooked it till the zucchini was dry, and soft, and as instructed, splashed in a bit of vermouth (dry). It was little more than kissed by the vermouth, but the flavor combination truly worked.
