1 1/2 c fresh mushrooms (I use shitakes, but any will do) .
2 tbsps lemon juice .
1/2 large Spanish onion (minced finely) .
1 1/2 c white pearl onions .
4 large garlic cloves (thinly sliced) .
1 tbsp olive oil .
2 slices lemon zest .
1 bay leaf
Directions
Step #1 Place the pearl onions in a heatproof bowl & cover with boiling water.
Step #2 Let stand for 2-3 mins, then drain.
Step #3 Peel the pearl onions, & set them aside.
Step #4 Wipe the mushrooms to clean, & then cut the exposed stem ends off, & discard them.
Step #5 If the mushrooms are small ones, leave them whole.
Step #6 If they are large ones, cut them in half.
Step #7 Wash the zucchini, & then skip over about the same width as the peeled part, & then using a vegetable peeler, peel off a strip of the green peel "longways" from stem end to other end, & make another "stripe".
Step #8 The result will be a "striped" zucchini, with the peeled & the non-peeled strips alternating.
Step #9 Then slice the zucchini across the middle into 1/4" slices.
Step #10 Place the chicken broth, coriander seeds, lemon zest, olive oil, lemon juice, minced Spanish onion, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, & the pinch of oregano In a large-ish pan over high heat.
Step #11 Bring to a boil.
Step #12 Reduce heat, & let simmer for 15 mins.
Step #13 Add the pearl onions & let simmer for 10 mins.
Step #14 Add the mushrooms & zucchini & let simmer for 5 more mins.
Step #15 Using a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables from the pan, into a bowl.
Step #16 Return the liquid in the pan to a boil, & boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/4 c.
Step #17 Pour the liquid over the vegetables, & stir in the the minced parsley.
