1083.0. "Carrot/Zucchini Dish" by DPDMAI::RESENDEP (following the yellow brick road...) Mon Mar 28 1988 13:17

    This is an elegant side dish to serve for company.
    
    		Julienne of Zucchini and Carrots
    
    Julienne 1/2 pound of carrots, peeled, and 1/4 pound zucchini, tops
    removed.  A julienne cut is about 2 - 3 inches long and 1/8 to 1/4
    inch thick; sometimes called matchstick cut.
    
    Arrange the carrots in a vegetable steamer, cover them with zucchini,
    and steam over 1 inch of boiling salted water, covered, until just
    crisp-tender.  The size of the julienne determines the cooking time,
    so I can't give you an exact time.  But taste often and DO NOT
    OVERCOOK!
    
    Toss over heat with a mixture of 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup melted
    butter.  Season generously with seasoned salt.  Serve warm.

1083.1Or sautee them...MCIS2::CORMIERMon Mar 28 1988 16:098
    I have made a similar dish, but I quick sauteed both the carrots
    and zucchini in a small amount of olive oil untill crisp/tender.
    The natural sugar in the carrots carmelizes and makes the entire
    dish sweet.  I have also added onions for extra flavor.  Delicious
    combinations!
