minutesZucchini Dip is what we do when we have too many zucchini.
We make many wonderful zucchini treats, many of which you are of course familiar with: Ratatouille, grilled vegetables, soup, breads etc… How about this zucchini dip? Just be prepared to start with a mountain of zucchini, and end up with a little bowl of amazing zucchini dip.
Rustic, unpretentious and deceptively plain.
Ingredients
1/3 cup olive oil
1 large onion, halved across, then sliced very thin
6 large zucchini, unpeeled, shredded
4 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1/2 cup mayonnaise, low fat OK
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 good pinches nutmeg
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet.
- Add the onion and fry on a medium flame until dark.
- Add the zucchini and garlic, and fry, stirring frequently, until the mass is greatly reduced and all liquids evaporates.
- Let the mixture cool, then stir in all remaining ingredients.
- Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
- Serve the zucchini dip with good bread or crackers.
Notes
- Variation:
Minted Avocado Cucumber Soup
