Ingredients

  • 2 pounds zucchini
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 handful fresh basil chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Coarsely grate the zucchini. Let it drain in a colander for 5 minutes, press down with the back of a spoon to excrete extra water.
  • In a skillet, warm butter and saute garlic for one minute. Add zucchini and herbs, stir well to combine. Cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, until the squash is a spreadable consistency. Stir occasionally so as not to burn the vegetables. It is ready once the zucchini is of a jam-like consistency.
