Friendly Feasting: Mom's Zucchini and Tomatoes
Growing up my mom had a few signature dishes. But for her to cook, it had to be fast, easy, and use as few dishes as possible. This summer-sensational recipe is the perfect use for garden zucchini and tomatoes and cooks in the microwave to avoid heating up the house.
Mom’s Zucchini and Tomatoes
- Zucchini, diced
- 1 8-oz can tomato sauce, no salt
- 1 can no salt diced tomatoes or 2-3 garden-fresh tomatoes, diced
- Oregano, salt to taste
- ¼ cup Splenda
Mix all ingredients together in a large microwave-safe baking dish. Cover and microwave 5 min on high. Stir. Recover and microwave another 5 min on 70%. Stir. Microwave covered another 8 min on 70%. Let sit 5-10 min with cover on and stir again before serving. Basically, nuke it until it’s done! You can taste and further season as you go.
Back in the day, Mom made this recipe with stewed tomatoes which have added sugar. I subbed out the sugary option for canned or fresh tomatoes with the addition of Splenda or other sweetener of your choice. Super simple, super fast, few ingredients, and all veggies – what more could you ask for? Feast fast, feast fresh, and as always…FEAST ON!!!
