Bacon Sauteed Zucchini

I had a balanced meal all planned, my meat, my rice, my green. Then I had the brilliant idea - let's sautee the green in bacon grease. Cause, you know, that's the healthy thing to do! But oh, so tasty. I remembered to take the above picture right before the last ones were gobbled down ... we started with that pan packed.

I used

• 4 zucchini, quartered vertically and halved horizontally
• A Tbsp or so of bacon grease
• liberal salt
• few shakes of oregano
• the largest skillet I own

I started out by doing a quick sautee on medium-high heat to coat all the pieces in the bacon grease. Then I shook the salt and oregano, cover the skillet, and turned it to medium-low. The zucchini pieces are thick so this is basically steaming the zucchini with it's own water. And natural bacon flavor. After the zucchini was tender, I uncovered them and turned it back up to medium-high to let that excess water evaporate.

And you're done! Easy, real food ... even if the health factor is debateable ;-) The taste, however, is anything but.

So good.
