It goes well with fish, especially catfish. I've always used zucchini, though it works as well with carrots or cucumbers. You can serve it as an appetizer or as a side dish, hot or cold. The recipe is originally from _Travel & Leisure_ magazine. Yield: Serves 4-6. I've found that this recipe works best if you use small zucchini, so that each slice has some peel (skin?) attached. Center slices without peel/skin fall apart. : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 10 minutes. : Precision: approximate measurement OK. : Nancy Mintz : UNIX System Development Lab AT&T Information Systems, Summit, NJ : ihnp4!attunix!nlm : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
