Steamed Zucchini

This was really easy to make. I also steamed shredded carrots and broccoli with the zucchini. I sprinkled a little juice from a real lemon.

I threw a few remaining brussel sprouts I had on hand in with the zuchinni just to use them up. Nice flavor, easy preparation. Don't over steam otherwise they will be really soggy!

This "recipe," for as basic and simple as it is, was disappointing. I chose it not for its unique qualities or its creativity, but simply for that fact that I'm not too familiar using a steamer so I chose this as a reference guide to gauge how long to steam the zucchini. Even being strictly just a "recipe" for how to steam zucchini, it was way off. The cooking time is far too long, resulting in zucchini that turned to mush once touched. For a recipe that calls for nothing more than cooking directions and simply seasoning with olive oil and a little garlic (not even salt and pepper!) one would have thought that its fundamental purpose, steaming the zucchini until done, would have offered a reliable cooking time. Next time I do this (if I even bother to steam zucchini again) I'd immediately shave a good four or five minutes off the cooking time. You can always cook it longer, but once it's mush, it's mush.
