Zucchini with Vinegar, Mint and Garlic image

These zucchini slices are usually fried but they are just as good grilled. They can be prepared hours before serving, even a day ahead.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 large zucchini (weighing about 2 pounds)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dried, crushed mint
2 to 3 garlic cloves, crushed

Steps:

  • Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut them lengthwise in slices about 1/3 inch thick. Arrange them side by side on a baking sheet lined with foil and brushed with oil. Brush the slices generously with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Cook under a preheated broiler until lightly browned, then turn over and brush the other side with oil and return to the broiler until browned.
  • Mix the vinegar with the mint and garlic and brush a little onto each slice. Serve at room temperature.
  • Instead of using raw garlic, heat it in 2 tablespoons oil in a small frying pan until the aroma rises, but do not let it color.
  • Serve the grilled slices topped with strained Greek-style yogurt.
