Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 pounds zucchini

(2 large, 5 or 6 small)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce -- more to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

 

1. Remove the ends of the zucchini and cut them lengthwise into halves. Slice

each half lengthwise into 4 to 6 wedges. Cut the wedges crosswise into

3-inch-long pieces.

 

2. In a large, covered pot on high heat, bring a couple of inches of water to a

boil. Fill a steamer basket or colander with the zucchini and lower it into the

pot. Cover the pot and steam the zucchini for about 3 minutes, until

crisp-tender.

 

3. Meanwhile, in a serving bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Tabasco,

cilantro, salt, and pepper. Toss the steamed zucchini in the sauce. Serve hot or

at room temperature.
