Zucchini Bo-nini

I love zucchini, but really all I've ever done with it is steam it, sautee it in olive oil or butter, and shredded it for zucchini bread or chocolate zucchini cake.  If I'm honest, the real reason I plant it is for the zucchini bread... BUT, luckily, I happened upon an article in a parenting magazine that had recipes for summer garden vegetables.  

Some, like the zucchini pizza and meatless zucchini tacos, will be forever untried, because, Yuck.  However, I thought the recipe Grilled Zucchini was great!

Grilled Zucchini

2 medium zucchini, cut into quarter spears

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp red wine vinegar

Ground pepper to taste

1/2 tsp salt

Chopped thyme, to taste (I have an herb garden, so I like fresh.  I'm sure dried works too.)

Mix oil, vinegar, and seasonings in large bowl.  Add zucchini and toss with hands until well coated.  Grill over medium heat for 4-6 minutes.

On a side note, Cassidy was with me at the grocery store when I purchased the red wine vinegar.  She is so conscious of trying to choose the right, that she became very concerned when she saw I was buying something with the word WINE on it.  She then asked me if I thought someone could get drunk if they drank it.  She felt a little better (but not all better) about my purchase when I explained to her that vinegar is so gross that no one would ever be able to drink enough red wine vinegar to produce intoxication.  I still don't think she's totally on board with my RWV, but at least she stopped talking about it...
