My dislike of zucchini, in the face of this delicious and fragrant side dish, went out the window. Ingredients:
8 medium zucchini, sliced 1/2 in. thick |
2 (16 ounce) cans s&w italian stewed tomatoes |
1 lb bacon, chopped |
1 large onion |
garlic clove |
olive oil |
thyme |
oregano |
basil |
marjoram |
Directions:
1. Cook chopped bacon until done, but not crispy.Drain and set aside.
2. Saute sliced zucchini in large skillet, tossing in chopped onion, at the last moment adding crushed garlic cloves.
3. Transfer to 6-8 qt pot, adding bacon and canned tomatoes, seasonings and more garlic, plus just enough water to make sure everything is covered. C over and cook over medium-low heat until zucchini is tender, keeping an eye on the fluid.
4. Optional: Top with parmesan or grated mozzarella.
