"Truffled" Zucchini
 

Truffled, "trifolato" in Italian comes from the name for truffle in dialect "trifola", and means prepared like a truffle, that is, cooked with garlic and parsley in olive oil.

10 zucchini/courgettes diced
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove
salt & pepper
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley

 

Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and gently brown the garlic. Then depending on how much you like garlic either throw it away or if you like it strong keep it in. Throw the zucchini into the pan and cook on medium heat for about 15/20 minutes stirring occasionally so they do not stick.
Add the parsely at the last minute and adjust for salt and pepper.
