Sautéed zucchini with fennel seeds colorful and sunny

1 Wash and dry the zucchini.

2 Slice them into not-too-thin rounds.

3 Peel and slice the onions and garlic cloves.

4 In a sauté pan, heat the oil without letting it smoke.

5 Brown the zucchini and onions over high heat, stirring for a few minutes, then lower the heat.

6 Add 1/2 cup of water, the garlic, and fennel seeds.

7 Season with salt and pepper.

8 Cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with flat parsley or with sliced poultry. The anise flavor pairs very nicely with the zucchini.
