Persian Zucchini with Tomatoes, Chili & Mint




Pretty soon, we'll be seeing backyard gardeners trying to give away their large monster-size zucchini to friends, neighbors and unsuspecting strangers. But right now, they're still small and tender.

My husband brought me a bunch of zucchini this week, asking me to create something light and tasty. A small basket of of cherry tomatoes sat lonely on my counter top. A green chili was in my fridge and dried mint was in the spice drawer. Mint and zucchini make a wonderful pair. A classically Middle Eastern combination, they'll be married for a long time.
