I think I’ve found a recipe that makes zucchini delicious! It’s a Rick Bayless recipe for fish and zucchini in a mojo de ajo (garlic sauce). As usual I modified things, although this being my first time doing this recipe I didn’t mess with it too much. Mostly I just halved it and added broccoli and snap peas along with the zucchini, since I had some of those to use up.
The fish was kind of meh and a bit watery (but I blame that on using frozen fish filets, not the recipe) but the vegetables were amazing. The sauce was rich and garlicky and didn’t overpower the vegetables. Even my dad was impressed. But best of all, now that I know how to do a simple mojo de ajo, there’s no need to restrict it to just fish and zucchini – ’cause lots of stuff tastes good with garlic.
And now I need to think about growing some garlic in the garden since I use so very much of it.
