INGREDIENTS (Amount approximately per person, but hey, how hungry are you?)
- 1 zucchini
- 1/4 cup Pomi finely chopped tomato ( I guess you can use real fresh tomato, but that's not laziest)
Plus the things you like to taste:
- Garlic (I use one full head!)
- Onion (I use one small yellow onion)
- Fresh ground black pepper (I insist on fresh ground only)
(Chili? Chile? Chilly?)Red pepper flakes- Cumin
- Rosemary
- Whatever other spices you have rattling around in your cupboards
- SOUR PLUM VINEGAR (1 tsp or 1 tbsp or none, depending on how much you're watching your sodium levels. Let me tell you this makes everything delicious though!! This is my culinary discovery of the year)
- Olive Oil (amount depending on how many calories you're willing to blow through. 1 tbsp of olive oil has more calories than all the other ingredients combined!! )
DIRECTIONS
- Peel the onion, chop it.
- Peel the garlic, crush it or chop it. Use whole cloves if you are into that, aka lazy like me.
- In saucepan, sautee(?) the garlic and onion, use olive oil if you're willing to go there. Otherwise use a little water to help it get going. IF YOU'RE EATING ALONE, STIR IT WITH THE FORK YOU'RE GOING TO EAT WITH SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WASH AN EXTRA UTENSIL
- Once it's all softened, pour the chopped tomato on top of the onion and garlic and stir it up.
- Add other things like pepper, spices, vinegar etc. Heat up and stir the sauce for a bit, then turn it off till step 8
- Wash then cut the ends off the zucchini
- Use a julienne peeler lengthwise on the zucchini or if you have one, a spiralizer. Otherwise cut long thin strips of zucchini with a knife.
- Put the zucchini strips in the sauce, heat and stir till everything is hot.
- EAT IT OUT OF THE POT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WASH AN EXTRA BOWL
