Sauteed Fennel, Leek and Zucchini

Recipe by Tania Burr

1/3 cup toasted walnuts chunks
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 cup coarsely chopped fennel (optional)
1 large leeks, green-sliced into 1 inch segments, white-chopped
1 zucchini halved and sliced
1/2 cup (lightly packed) fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves chopped
Salt and pepper to taste


Sautee the white bulb of the leek with 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil. Add in the chopped fennel. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add in the green of the leek and the zucchini slices and sauté. Meanwhile, toast walnuts in a skillet or under the broiler. Add them into a medium bowl with garlic, lemon juice, 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, parsley and salt and pepper. Mix well. Once sauté mix has reached the desired tenderness, mix the warm vegetables into the bowl with all of the other ingredients. Serve as a side dish.
