Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large tomatoes
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 5 whole fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the zucchini, tomatoes, and basil leaves thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the zucchini into thin half-moon slices. Slice the onion into thin strips. Dice the tomatoes into medium-sized chunks. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until it becomes slightly translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the zucchini slices and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the zucchini starts to soften and turn golden around the edges.
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and stir them into the dish just before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
