I'm still not really cooking. And for
the same fairly lame reasons. Time, picky kids and all those other typical
excuses. My shopping trips lately revolve around purchasing food that is
healthy, cheap and very easy to prepare. Bananas fall into that category. So
does wine.
On Saturday when we headed over to Theo
and Emel's to welcome baby Sjor, I brought some wine, but I didn't feel like
bananas were appropriate for a summer BBQ. Luckily I have also discovered
the packages of baby zucchinis at Trader Joes. They are pre-washed and due to
their 'babyish' nature, you don't even have to trim off the stem. It doesn't
get any easier than that. Since this was a celebration, however, I decided to
rally some of my old enthusiasm for new recipes and try a new marinade.
Slice about two pounds of zucchini in
half and marinate with 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons fresh
lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil and salt. If you
have some fresh herbs (not me!), you can throw those in too. Let them sit at
room temperature few a few hours and then grill. And then hope that somebody
else is cooking a giant leg of lamb!
