Ingredients
Olive oil
2 tsp, extra-virgin
Uncooked zucchini
2 medium, cut into large chunks
Red onion
1 small, thinly sliced
Grape tomatoes
1 cup(s)
Table salt
¼ tsp, or to taste
Black pepper
⅛ tsp, or to taste
Jarred minced garlic
1 tsp
Fresh basil
⅓ cup(s), leaves, roughly torn
Instructions
1
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add zucchini and onion, cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini and onion are golden and tender, about 5 to 8 minutes (don’t be tempted to stir too often, the zucchini needs to get nice and golden brown).
2
Add tomatoes, salt and pepper; cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, just until tomatoes start to soften, about 2 minutes.
3
Add garlic; cook over medium heat, tossing, just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4
Remove from heat and stir in basil. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
