Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Wash and slice the zucchini into half-moons about 1/4 inch thick.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dumpling mixture. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and gently stir until the mixture comes together into a soft dough. Do not overmix.
Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into the simmering vegetable mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Zucchini and Tomatoes with Parmesan Dumplings!
