Zucchini With Tomatoes

Diana Rattray
Here's yet another way to enjoy this great vegetable, and it makes a fabulous side dish to just about any main dish.

Ingredients:

  • 4 to 6 small zucchini squash, about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 1 medium sweet onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
  • dash Cajun seasoning, optional
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • juice of 1 lemon, about 2 to 3 tablespoons
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Cut zucchini into sticks or slices. Quarter and slice the onion. Combine the prepared zucchini and onion, garlic, basil, Cajun seasoning, chicken broth, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, or until just tender. Add tomatoes and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper, as desired.
Serves 4 to 6.

Simply delicious, Member mmmko

While this has all the usual ingredients, it is lighter than most zucchini and tomato dishes in that it doesn't require any oil or lengthy cooking time. A pleasant change; it's not as heavy as my favorite traditional Southern fare. I confess I skipped the Cajun seasoning, opting for a few dashes of pepper sauce instead. It's in my recipe box for keeps.
