New Recipes Pan-Fried Zucchini with Toasted Pistachios - ★Cooking Recipes★

I love the tang of sumac. Sumac is a wonderful Lebanese spice taken from the dry berries of a wild bush. It has a delicate sour flavour. Most upscale markets carry it but if you can't find it, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the zucchini. It's amazing that such a simple dish can be so delicious. Yield is 4 servings.
