ginger zucchini with rice

what you need
zucchini: two (large) cleaned and chopped
 brown/wild rice: two cups
ginger dressing: two tablespoons
pepper: two teaspoons
salt: one pinch
garlic powder: one teaspoon
**or fresh garlic: the more the merrier!
extra virgin olive oil: three tablespoons


what to do
marinate chopped zucchini with olive oil
 fresh or powdered garlic, salt and pepper. 
set aside for about 15 minutes. 

while your zucchini hangs out-
prepare brown/wild rice
or rice of choice by brand directions.
usually takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes
depending on rice type.

after 15 minutes is up,
place a saute pan over med high heat-
give it just a second to heat up 
then place zucchini in pan carefully.
saute just until the zucchini starts to look a bit translucent.
**we like our veggies with a little bite!

place rice on plate
 add zucchini to top and
 drizzle ginger dressing over zucchini.

 
tip: you can saute the zucchini with the ginger dressing.
but don't add any extra salt at the end the
ginger dressing does the job. 





super simple and delicious
 enjoy!
