Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 2 zucchinis into half-moons and chop the 2 tomatoes into chunks. Thinly slice the 1 onion and mince the 3 garlic cloves.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

  4. Step 4

    Add the zucchini slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and soften, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes, 1 tsp dried oregano, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Cook until the tomatoes release their juices and the zucchini is tender, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a side dish or over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
