Many of my friends are gluten-free and/or vegetarian. We have even decided to go vegetarian twice a week so we are always looking for awesome new recipes to keep mealtime exciting. Raw zucchini noodles is something I have wanted to try for a while. I recently got a spiral slicer (see picture below) just for this and I was so impressed with how it came out! Many of you may be skeptical but if I can get my 8 year old to love it, it is certainly something worth trying.
Ingredients:
8 zucchini (peeled or unpeeled, either is fine)
2 TBSP salted butter
1-2 clove(s) fresh garlic
8 chopped vine ripe tomatoes
3 TBSP rinsed nonpareil capers
6-12 chopped fresh basil
kosher salt
Garlic and herb feta crumbles (optional)
Preparation:
Use a spiral slicer* for the zucchini to make it the shape of spaghetti noodles. Add zucchini to a colander set over a bowl and sprinkle about 1/2 tsp of salt on the noodles. Toss gently to make sure all zucchini is salted. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes. The salt will leech much of the water from the zucchini. Rinse the zucchini in the colander to remove the salt. Shake as much water off as possible. Use a tea towel to dry the zucchini. Divide the raw zucchini between 4 plates or bowls.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Remove pan from heat momentarily and add garlic to the melted butter by using a garlic press. Stir and return to heat. Do not brown the garlic. After about 10-15 seconds, add the tomatoes, capers and basil. Salt to taste. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon over zucchini and top with feta if desired.
*Note: You can cut the zucchini with a mandolin slicer or by hand. I prefer the spiral slicer because the “noodles” are longer and mimic pasta so much better.
