Zuccini Everyone Likes!

I've never liked zuccini until one day a vegetarian friend came over for dinner and I threw this together for him. When he was eating it he confessed that he's never liked zuccini and that this was the first time he ever did! So if two people who didn't like zuccini could be converted I figured there might be others out there!

1 Zuccini
3 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup lemonade

Note: For a low fat version - use 1/2 tbsp oil and when you add the lemonade also add 1/4 cup of water so the zuccini doesn't stick to the pan and it cooks through.

1. Using a fork score the zuccini's skin to make it look like a zebra stripe. This is for decorative purpose only and is an optional step.

2. Turn stove onto medium-high and heat olive oil in a large frying pan.

3. Slice zuccini into 1/4 inch thin round slices.

4. When oil is hot add zuccini and garlic. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.

5. Add 1/4 cup of lemonade.

6. Sautee zuccini until it is soft, approximately 5 minutes. Serve warm.
