Ingredients

1 - 2 zucchini, small to medium in size
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh)

Instructions

Wash zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. If the zucchini has large seeds, remove with a spoon. Do not peel.
Boil in salted water until fork tender, approximately 12 - 15 minutes. Do not over boil.
Melt butter, add dill and stir.
Drain zucchini well; pat the top dry with a paper towel.
Brush dill butter sauce over cooked and drained zucchini.

Notes

For the best results, use zucchini on the smaller size or medium small. Larger zucchini have too many seeds.
If using a zucchini with large seeds, remove them gently with a spoon before boiling.
Boil as many zucchini as you need for your family.
To prevent your zucchini from falling apart, do not over boil. Boil until just fork-tender.
Real butter works best because it has the most flavor. Avoid margarine; however, olive oil works well too.
Fresh dill is best in terms of flavor, use as much chopped dill as desired; however, dried dill works fine too, if needed.
For added flavor, add minced garlic to the butter or sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese before serving.
