PAN FRIED ZUCCHINI AND RED PEPPER
I try to find meatless meals from time to time, especially when the men at my house are eating red meat. I came up with this when frying potatoes one day. I simplified it to suit my calorie intake and to get my vegetables fixed yet another way.

PAN-SEARED ZUCCHINI
A zucchini and a steak may not have much in common, but, like steak, zucchini takes incredibly well to the method of quickly searing in a smoking hot pan. Zucchini has a high water content, so cooking it fast means it retains its structure and doesn't release too much water, and doing so over high heat yields a beautiful char. A quick baste with brown butter, rosemary and garlic adds even more steakhouselike flavor. The recipe calls for 1½ tablespoons butter, but feel free to use a bit more if you like. Finally, choose smaller zucchini if you can; they tend to be less watery, more flavorful, and contain smaller seeds than their larger counterparts. If you can only find larger zucchini (or if you only have a 10-inch skillet), use two zucchini instead of three to avoid crowding the pan.

Steps:
- Trim the zucchini lengthwise on two opposite sides to create flat edges. Discard or compost the scraps and cut the zucchini in half lengthwise into two planks that are about ½-inch thick. (If you're using larger zucchini, you may get three planks from each one). Pat them dry with a paper towel, pressing gently but firmly on both sides to absorb any moisture.
- Heat a large (12-inch) cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium high. Add the oil and heat until it's almost smoking. Add the zucchini, spacing them evenly in the pan and pressing lightly with a spatula so that the planks make contact with the pan. Sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper and cook for about 3 minutes, until the zucchini is nicely charred on the bottom. Lower the heat to medium, flip the zucchini, and season with salt and pepper again. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the bottom is charred.
- Turn the heat to low and add the butter, garlic and rosemary. Carefully tilt the pan, letting the garlic and rosemary cook in the butter for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the butter has begun to brown. Spoon the butter over the zucchini, and cook for another minute, flipping them a few times to coat both sides with the butter.
- Transfer the zucchini to a serving platter, along with the garlic and rosemary, and spoon any butter that's left in the pan on top. Top with coarse sea salt, lemon zest and red-pepper flakes, and serve hot.
GRILLED ZUCCHINI, ONIONS, AND RED PEPPERS
This is a great recipe to use up all those vegetables that are coming in from the garden about now. Plus, I love to grill, and this just makes it easier to make a complete meal on the grill. These are also good in a pita with garlic mayo or tzatziki sauce! **Prep time does not include the time to get the grill ready for grilling!

Steps:
- Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut them in half lengthwise and then cut them into quarters.
- Trim, core, and stem the red bell peppers. Cut them into four equal parts from top down.
- Peel the onion and lay it on its side. Cut it inot 1/4 to 1/2 inch circles, being careful to keep the concentric layers in place.
- Place the zucchini, onions, and bell peppers in a shallow baking sheet. Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and drizzle over the vegetables. Sprinkle the chopped garlic, basil, and oregano over the top. Add the Cavendar's Greek Seasoning to taste.
- Place the vegetables on a hot grill with tongs. (If you'd like you can use a grilling basket to keep from losing any of the vegetables through the grill!).
- Cook on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes (or until they are marked) over a medium hot grill. Brush the vegetables with any remaining oil/vinegar mix when you turn them.
- Serve hot or cold!
