If you feel like having an appetizer with your dinner but don’t want to have the extra time to prep one, this recipe is for you. Because it takes less than 10 minutes to make, from washing your hands to sitting down to eat.
This is an appetizer my grandmother makes sometimes and I love it. It’s no surprise: I love Dijon mustard and this is what it tastes like :). I did change it a little by using less cream and adding grainy mustard but it does still taste exactly the same. Delicious!
Creamy Dijon Zucchini
Ingredients:
- 2 small to medium zucchini, sliced
- 1/3 cup 15% cooking cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp old-style (grainy) mustard
- 1 tsp butter
- 1 tsp olive oil
Directions: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk cream, milk and mustards together. Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini slices and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Reduce heat to medium-low, add sauce and cook, stirring, for a couple minutes, until sauce is thick.
Serves 4
This dish has a strong dijon mustard taste that goes perfectly with the lighter taste of the zucchini. The sauce gets really thick and there will be a little extra, so don’t forget the bread to eat all the leftover yumminess!
I haven’t prepared zucchini like this zucchini looks delicious
The only think I knew how to make when I was 19 was dinner rolls. I’m kind of a nut when it comes to Zucchini (also something I never would have eaten when I was 19) so I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it. This looks great in fact…it makes me think that next time I have funeral potatoes, I may just throw some zucchini in there. (fyi- I’ve left a response to your funeral potato comment on the post.)
I have a zucchini in my garden that is just about ready to be picked. Perhaps this is what I will do with it. Love dijon!
mmm. love zucchini and mustard, just never thought of them together!
This sounds great. It’s actually very similar to a zucchini mustard sauce for pasta that I found in one of my cookbooks. Yummy!
This sounds really really yummy!! I, too, loooove dijon mustard. If I don’t have a dipping sauce for something that requires it, I just go to my grey poupon. :))
I am such a fan of zucchini! (Who am I kidding, I love pretty much any food!) Never thought to add in the Dijon, the taste sounds amazing though.
Charlie, you had me at 10 minutes! This is awesome! 😀
