An Easy, Delicious Mexican Zucchini Dish
Serves 4 as a side dish
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
- ½ cup chopped Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic, peeled and minced or crushed
- 2 Jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 Zucchini, diced
- 1 cup diced Tomato
- 1 tsp Oregano
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup chopped Parsley
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella, or Queso Fresco
- Sour Cream, to serve
Directions:
- Warm oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until beginning to soften.
- Add the jalapeno, zucchini, tomato and oregano, as well as pinches of salt and pepper. Stir everything together, cover and let cook for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little water if the zucchini is sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- When the zucchini is tender, turn your oven to low broil. Remove the lid, evenly sprinkle the cheese over the dish and place under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep a close eye and remove when the cheese starts to get crispy and dark.
- Sprinkle over the parsley, then serve with a spoonful of sour cream. This is great as a side with chicken and rice, or in a taco. Enjoy!
