Zucchini in Tomato Sauce
You’re probably familiar with this — Saturday lunch at mom’s house, with delicious smells wafting through the kitchen. I always find myself wandering in, following these smells.
A big pot with sauce and zucchinis is placed on the cooktop and it starts to bubble quietly.
It doesn’t matter if you call it a stew or a salad, the only thing that matters is that it tastes good.
Try eating it with bread, it’s amazing.
Simple homemade food that everyone loves.
3 – 4 Servings
Ingredients:
2 small zucchinis
4 tomatoes
1 hot red chili pepper
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 Tbsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp crushed chili flakes
1 tsp sugar
1 cup water and a bit more
1 Tbsp chicken bouillon
Ground black pepper
Salt (if needed, to taste)
Preparation:
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Score the tops of the tomatoes and drop them in the boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes and drain.
2. Heat a pan with 3 Tbsp of oil, chop the onion and sauté until it starts to go golden. Slice the garlic and add to the onion. Sauté for another 2 minutes.
*3. Grate the zucchini, no need to peel first, and add to the onion. Sauté for around two minutes while stirring. Finely chop the tomatoes and add to the vegetables. Add water, tomato paste, spices and sugar and cook for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Good to know…
You can make this 2-3 days in advance and keep in the fridge. If you don’t like zucchini, leave it out. The sugar doesn’t make this a sweet salad.
