Zucchini With Tomatoes

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.
