Appetizers and First Courses

Zucchini Victor

To serve 4 to 6 as a first course

1 large firm ripe zucchini (about 1 pound)
1 large firm ripe yellow straight-neck squash (about 1 pound)
5 cups chicken stock, fresh or canned
2 celery tops
8 fresh parsley sprigs
1 medium-sized bay leaf
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
2/3 cup olive oil
1 canned pimiento, drained and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide strips
8 flat anchovy fillets, drained
Sprigs of watercress for garnish

Zucchini Victor is adapted from celery Victor--a poached-celery salad created by chef Victor Hirtzler of the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco

Tie 2 celery tops, 8 fresh parsley sprigs and 1 medium-sized bay leaf, together with string.

Using a vegetable brush, scrub the zucchini and straight-neck squash thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. With a sharp knife, remove the stems and cut both squash in half crosswise. Then slice each half lengthwise into eight thin strips.

In a heavy 3- to 4-qtart saucepan, bring the chicken stock and the tied celery leaves, parsley sprigs and bay leaf to a boil over high heat. Add the squash, cover the pan partially, and reduce the heat to moderate. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until a slice of squash shows only slight resistance when pierced with the point of a small sharp knife. Pick out and discard the tied herbs and drain the squash in a sieve or colander. (If you like, you may drain the stock into a bowl and reserve it for another use.)

Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, salt and pepper in a deep bowl and stir with a wire whisk until the salt dissolves. Whisking constantly, Pour in the olive oil in a slow, thin stream and beat until the marinade mixture is thick and smooth. Taste for seasoning. Add the squash and turn the pieces about gently with a spoon to coat them evenly. Then cover the bowl tightly with foil or plastic wrap and marinate the squash in the refrigerator for about 1 2 hours or overnight.

To serve, transfer the squash to a chilled platter with a slotted spoon. Moisten the squash with a few spoonfuls of the marinade and arrange the pimiento strips and anchovies attractively on top. Garnish the platter with watercress and serve at once.
