Easy Stewed Zucchini With Feta

Submitted by OzzyandHarriet

"Talk about cheating!! I was a waitress for 16 years in New York diners. One of my favorite veggie sides was stewed zucchini, (the Greek chefs made this daily). Well, this is just as good and so easy. This is also my first post. Hope you like it."

I found this recipe looking for a way to use up garden-fresh zucchini. I halved the recipe, threw in some leftover onions and banana peppers with the zucchini, and eyeballed the rest. Great, spicy dish and I like the combination of salsa and feta. Thanks for sharing!

Loved it! I had to leave out the mushrooms becuase I'm allergic to them, and I did make my own salsa which could have been a little thicker I think (my fault entirely) not the recipes, but the end result was very nice indeed. A very tasty zucchini dish indeed. I used about 1 heaped teaspoon of hot jalapeno pepper minced in my salsa and it was peppy enough that I was glad that I hadn't been tempted to add more. Please see my rating system: a wonderful 4 stars for a recipe thatI will gladly make again. Thanks!
