Zucchini is one of those vegetables that doesn't enter our kitchen often. It is a healthy food choice and so it should be a regular item on our family menu. I just had not given much thought on how to prepare this vegetable into a dish that my whole family could enjoy.
With the help of my hubby we came up with the following recipe.
This is a quick and easy recipe. It is a healthy food choice. Ingredients are natural and inexpensive. This does not take up much time to make and clean up is a breeze.
The best part! Everyone loves it! I am happy to say that we will be welcoming zucchini in our home more than ever before!
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion diced
4 medium tomatoes chopped
10-12 small zucchini sliced (1.5 cm rounds)
1/2 whole chicken cut into pieces
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 cups water
Method:
1. On medium heat, add oil to large saucepan. Once heated add onions and cook until yellow.
2. Add chopped tomatoes. Add in salt and pepper. Stir well. Lower heat and simmer until a paste is formed.
3. Increase to medium heat and add chicken pieces. Stir often until chicken has started to cook.
4. Reduce heat. Add zucchini. Cover and let cook until zucchini is ready.
