So this past Friday my husband popped into the store after coming over from our garden and dropped off the first of the Zucchini. I can’t tell you how satisfying and enjoyable it is when you grow your own vegetables! So right away I was planning on how to cook up the first batch. We had grass feed flank steak, organic mashed potatoes and grilled zucchini. The other dishes were rich so I wanted to keep the veggie simple.

I sliced the zucchini about ½” thick.

Mixed up some fresh-diced garlic, olive oil, Celtic Sea Salt (the best!!), a little pepper and some beautiful Herbs of Provence that were a gift from my friend while traveling in Europe.

My Granny taught me, yes I’m from the south, to always mix with your hands because it makes everything taste better because it’s mixed with love. Mixing with your hands also helps to coat all the sides evenly.

I placed the Zucchini in rows on a grill rack. I usually break this baby out when I am grilling fish but it also works great when grilling veggies.

Grill for about 5 minutes each side on a piping hot grill and voila! You could easily sprinkle some feta to finish or leave just as is. It was so very tasty and we enjoyed every bite. A very plain recipe but it was so much more knowing that we grew it ourselves. Real satisfaction that I cannot explain until you do it yourself!!
