SUMMER CUCUZZA SALAD



Summer Cucuzza Salad image

Inspired by Kim D and our common cucuza background :-) Cucuza is like a LARGE zucchini that grows past the size of a baseball bat if you let it. My grandmom used to get pretty creative with the stuff. Here was one of her recipes.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs cucuzza or 2 lbs zucchini, cut into approx 1 1/2 inch cubes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
2 -3 garlic cloves, sliced
3 -4 tablespoons of fresh mint, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Steam the cucuza or zucchini over boiling water until soft but not mushy. This will depend on the denseness of the veggie, so keep your eye on it after about 3 minutes, keep checking.
  • Transfer to a bowl and while still warm add the rest of the ingredients and toss.
  • Allow to come to room temperature carefully tossing ingredients occasionally to evenly distribute the flavors.
  • Serve at room temperature or slightly cool. (if made ahead and refrigerated, allow to rest out side of the refrigerator a few minutes before serving).
