Fresh Zucchini , tomato, and summer squash stew
Ingredients:
4-5 small not to fat zucchini diced cubed (not to small or it gets mushy)
4-5 small not to fat yellow summer squash (or yellow zucchini) cubed
3-4 good size ripe fresh tomatoes diced
4-5 cloves fresh garlic (if you can’t get fresh that’s okay, you can also use garlic scapes)
chopped coarsely
Fresh scallions are optional or spring onions.
1-3 Tbsp fresh oregano (if available if not use dried but only 1 tbsp)
1-3 Tbsp fresh basil (same as above if using dried)
Fresh parsley to taste
All the herbs can be adjusted to your taste
Directions:
Sauté the garlic (and onions if you use them) lightly
Add your squash & continue to sauté until cooked and still crunchy
Add tomatoes and fresh herbs
Simmer to a stew consistency but do not over due the squash or make the tomatoes
disappear.
Serve over your favorite pasta (linguini or Rotelle are my favorite), or serve it as a side dish.
Enjoy! This is one of my daughter’s favorite meals since she was a little girl! I make it in
the winter too. Of course things are not as fresh and I use good quality canned crushed
tomatoes.
