Zucchini with Garlic and Mint Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 10 oz (300 g) small zucchini, sliced into ½in (1 cm) rounds
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tbsp finely chopped mint
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Melt the oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan with a lid, ideally one that will fit the zucchini in a single layer.
2. Add the zucchini and stir them around so that as many as possible are touching the bottom of the pan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
3. Remove the lid, stir in the garlic and mint, and season well. Cover again and cook for another 2 minutes, shaking occasionally, until the zucchini are just cooked and golden brown in places.
