This was so easy, but so darn good! I didn't have the fresh parsley, so added dried. I really love stewed tomatoes as a side dish. Adding in the zucchini is just an added bonus! Thanks for such a great recipe! I did add in 1/2 tsp of sugar to give it that sweet stewed tomato taste I am more familiar with. (It was good on its own however) I might add in chopped celery next time when sauteeing the veggies. Thanks, and as you can see, you can add things in to this recipe to make it your own! I will make this dish again and again.
