The Dish
This simple recipe is a quick and easy go-to for rounding out your main dishes with a healthy side of vegetables. Sliced zucchini is lightly steamed and seasoned with lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh basil. Any dinner could benefit from this addition, be it a hearty pasta dish, grilled meats, or hearty roasts. If you’re a little sensitive to acidic ingredients (lemon can be one of those polarizing ingredients), add a little lemon juice and lemon zest at a time to achieve your desired level of flavor. If you’re a fan of spicy sides, feel free to sprinkle this dish with crushed red pepper flakes.
