Melted Zucchini Spread

Name: Melted Zucchini Spread
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: about 1.5 cups
Cuisine: European
Ingredients: 4 zucchinis, unpeeled (you can also use green squash); 1/4 cup olive oil or 3½ tablespoons (50 g) butter (butter creates a richer spread); 4–5 garlic cloves, crushed; 1/2 teaspoon salt; Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Minimal ingredients yield maximum flavor and a unique spread—a zucchini spread as soft as butter that melts onto the bread is sheer delight.

Thin strands of zucchini that are so soft they melt into the bread. A concentrated flavor from one of the best vegetables out there.

And by the way—the zucchini spread is wonderful stirred into rice while cooking, or spread over chicken before roasting.
