Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped

Small handful golden raisins

Small handful pine nuts

Juice of 1/4 lemon, or more to taste

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, and add the zucchini once the oil is hot, but not smoking. Saute, stirring, until the zucchini have begun to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, pine nuts, raisins, and plenty of salt and black pepper. Continue cooking until the pine nuts begin to brown a bit and the garlic has softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice to taste, and stir well. Transfer to a plate for serving. Though the recipe doesn’t call for it, I would finish it with a drizzle of good olive oil.
