"Great side dish to compliment almost any meal. For the salsa I used mild."

• Ingredients: 11

• 6 zucchini, small (sliced)

1. Over medium heat melt the butter and oil in a large skillet and add the onions and sauté until tender, add garlic and cook stirring for about another minute.
2. Add wine, zucchini, salt, pepper and ground ginger stir to combine and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring until zucchini begins to soften.

This was a great vege side that really was easy to prepare and tasty. Such a simple dish that was enjoyed by all my family tonight. 5 stars for a quick and easy recipe. This is one of those really easy recipes that I will make again and again as a regular side to our family night dinners. Photo also to be posted. Good luck in the Dining in a $ contest

Oh wow, this dish was so good! I made it as instructed but followed Leggy Peggy's suggestion to add the salsa while it was cooking. I also used 3 large zucchini that I cut into quarters to fit into my pan. Halfway through cooking I tasted the "broth" and wound up adding more ginger and honey and it couldn't have been more delicious! My husband raved and raved the entire way through dinner about how good it was. Thank you for posting! It is going into our weekly rotation file.

Absolutely delicious! I made half a batch, adding the salsa along with the wine and zucchini so they could all stew together. So easy to make and such great flavours. Served with Recipe #57464. Rest in peace, Papa D. You will be missed.

The red onion, salsa and touch of honey make this zucchini sidedish shine. Great flavor! We loved the zucchini done this way. I did overcook mine this time but the flavor was still there. Yum!
