Grilled Fried Zucchini

There's something about zucchini. And, I'm lucky it is the one thing I can get to grow well in my garden. Some call it, summer squash... I hate squash, or most squashes at least (I don't mind spaghetti squash). Thus, I feel a taste bud betrayal calling zucchini... squash. 

Any form of cooked zucchini is good (raw's not too bad either), but I particularly love it grilled. It has this ability to absorb those smokey grilling flavors. But, I also love it fried... something about the texture.  So, I combined the two and thought I'd share my simple recipe for grilled fried zucchini. 

Start by slicing up 2 or 3 zucchinis, 4 to 6 garlic cloves, 1 bell pepper, and/or any other peppers you wish to add. Once sliced, throw it all in a cast iron pan with a can of drained artichokes. Drizzled in enough olive oil to coat all the contents. Then, season with salt and pepper. A generous dust of the top should suffice. 

After everything is in the pan, throw it on a high grill, stirring occasionally. You know its done once the zucchini has softened, but has not yet turned mushy. Bam. Easy and delicious.
