lebanese Warm Zucchini salad (Authentic Treedi)

Treedi is a simple side dish made with the leftover zucchini centers after making stuffed zucchini dish calledKosa Mihshy. Its cooked down then tossed with a light dressing and toasted pita bread.If you didn't make Kosa I will explain how you could make this dish with the whole zucchini.


With leftover kosa centers:
6-7 zucchini centers
1 lemon juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 cloves crushed garlic
1/2 cup toasted pita bread
1 teaspoon dried mint
few tablespoons water
salt to taste

With whole zucchini:
6 whole zucchinis (small sized peeled and chopped)
Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
l5 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 cloves crushed garlic
1 tablespoon dry mint
1 cup toasted pita bread
bit of water.
salt to taste

How2:
In a sauce pan add a bit of the water followed by the zucchini. bring up to a boil then reduce heat to lo cover and allow it to cook down.
The end result would be a slightly liquid yet soft fully cooked zucchini pieces.
In the bowl mix salt,crushed garlic with lemon juice first.Add oil.
Add warm cooked zucchini,mix well.
Traditionally you pour this over the toasted bread but it may get super soggy right away so I posted this with the bread on top.
Eat warm or cold.
ENJOY!!
