*Washed, cut into 1/2" slices if small; split sideways and cut in 1/2"
pieces if medium. If large squash is used, test skin to see if it needs to
be peeled (sometimes larger squash have tough skins), and remove the center
if there are large, tough seeds present. Then cut into 1/2" x 1" pieces.
Place cut up zucchini and onions (and garlic, if desired) in large,
microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for
9-10 minutes, then let rest for about 15.
Drain liquid from cooked zucchini, and season with butter (or butter
substitute) if desired, and salt and pepper.
I've cooked a lot of zucchini a lot of different ways, but we come back to
this one a lot. It's very fast...with small zucchini and a sharp chef's
knife, you can have it in the microwave in about 2 minutes. Very convenient
when barbecuing, you can start it and go grill your dinner, then drain and
season the zucchini just before serving. Also, since you don't have to add
water when microwaving it, I think you retain the flavor of the zucchini
better.
