Baby Zucchini Saute with Mint
Recipe from Food & Wine

"I grow zucchini and end up with so much of it," says Katie Lee. "Zucchini with lemon and mint is one of my favorite combos." Halved baby zucchini are pleasantly crisp-tender when sauteed, but the dish is equally delicious made with "adult" zucchini.
