 Zucchini is traditionally green, but it also comes in an array of yellow colors. Yellow zucchini is sometimes called summer squash. It’s all pretty much the same delicious soft-skinned squash. This recipe is the perfect way to eat great quantities of it when your garden is bursting mid-summer! |

olive oil |
| |
3 c. |
|
zucchini, sliced (green or yellow) |
| |
1 c. |
|
fresh tomatoes, chopped |
| |
1/4 c. |
|
onion, diced |
| |
2 cloves |
|
garlic, minced |
| |
|
|
salt and pepper to taste |
| Directions: |
| |
Heat oil in a medium sauce pan until oil ripples and dances. Add sliced zucchini squash, chopped tomatoes, and diced onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sautee for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook an additional 5 minutes or so, until tender and zucchini and onions turn somewhat translucent.
