I tried this over the weekend and found it to be a wonderful recipe that accompanied grilled chicken. I'm a cumin lover and it added a wonderful flavor to this side dish. I added some red pepper flakes and 3 cloves of minced garlic to the oil before adding the zucchini and would encourage any spice and garlic lover to add this also. Great one Yooper - it's a keeper!

This was an easy recipe that made a great lunch for me and my husband. I added 1/2 c. chopped onion and 1 t. minced garlic and sauteed in oil, then I added zucchini and seasonings. The cumin flavor was good and my husband squirted Tabasco all over his. I may add some sliced mushrooms next time. Yooper, thanks for a great recipe.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
