Zucchini with Sage
Image and Recipe Copyright © 2003-2010 Jennifer Iserloh
Sage is a very strong herb when used fresh, but its flavor mellows when sautéed in olive oil. The Italian call sage cooked in butter, “black butter” and serve it over pasta or meat.
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 pounds zucchini, trimmed, cut into rings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon trans-fat free margarine
8 sage leaves
1/4 cup low-fat chicken stock or water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and warm the olive oil. Add the margarine, sage and cook 1-2 minutes until the sage begins to turn dark green. When the sage is crispy, remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel.
Turn the heat to high and add the zucchini, salt, and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the zucchini starts to brown. Add the chicken stock and cover. Cook 2-3 additional minutes until zucchini is soft and sprinkle with sage. Serve immediately.

So, why the margarine??

Hi Allen,
You can also use one tablespoon of butter if you have a clean bill of health. I usually recommend a good quality, trans-fat free margarine because saturated fat has been proven to raise blood cholesterol.
