Sauteed Zucchini With Sun-Dried Tomatoes
A great side dish to pair up with beef, chicken or fish. Love the flavors in this dish - simple but full of flavor. I did add a clove of garlic to the original recipe just because I thought it would really give it a great background flavor. Tried and posted for ZWT7.

- Chop the dried tomatoes and set to the side.
- In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, place 4 tablespoons of oil and the diced onion. Cook over a medium heat until the sliced onions are translucent, for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté an additional 1 minute.
- Add the dried tomato and sauté for additional 2 minutes.
- Add the zucchini, salt and pepper to taste, then cover with a tight lid and simmer for additional 5 minutes or until tender but firm.
- Using a slatted spoon transfer the zucchini into a large dish and serve while hot.
