- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Trim the ends, then slice them into half-moons about 1/4-inch thick.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes or until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices.
Season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and let it stew for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy.

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the stewed zucchini before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or pair with crusty bread for a light main course.
