Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs zucchini (about 4 medium/6 small)
4 large sun-dried tomatoes
1 small onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper

Steps:

Wash the zucchini using a brush to gently scrub the zucchini and then pat dry with a kitchen towel. Cut off the stems and cut each zucchini in 3 or 4 pieces; then cut each piece lengthwise into 6 wedges. Set to the side.
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.
