- .RZ "ZUCCHINI SHREDS WITH GINGER" "Zucchini with ginger and chili peppers"
- This is a nice spicy vegetable dish. It goes well with fish, especially
- catfish. I've always used zucchini, though it works as well with carrots or
- cucumbers. You can serve it as an appetizer or as a side dish, hot or cold.
- .PP
- The recipe is originally from \fITravel & Leisure\fR magazine.

- .SK 1
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat for 3 minutes.
- .SK 2
- Add the cumin, let the oil darken slightly (about 10 seconds)
- and add ginger and chili. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
- .SK 3
- Add the zucchini and stir-fry for 3\-4 minutes.
- Add tomato during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- .SK 4
- Turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle lemon juice and salt to taste, mix, transfer to a serving plate and
- garnish with coriander.
- .NX
- I've found that this recipe works best if you use small zucchini, so that each
- slice has some peel (skin?) attached. Center slices without peel/skin
- fall apart.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 10 minutes.
- .I Precision:
