I did not like this recipe as written. Sauteing the zucchini with the onion until the ZUCCHINI is transparent THEN steaming for an additional 5 minutes would have left an utter mess. I caught that early on and sauteed until the ONION was transparent then steamed for 5 min. At that, the zucchini was still overly soft. However, I did like the mix of cilantro and zucchini. I would have never thought to mix the two and it was actually pretty good. If I do make this again, I would steam for a minute or two. I like my zucchini to have some structure.

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
