Zucchini and Tomatoes With Parmesan Dumplings image

This simple-to-prepare side accompanies blander dishes nicely. I particularly like it with simply grilled salmon or other fish.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 medium zucchini, peeled and cubed
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and saute onion and garlic until tender, but not browned.
  • Add tomatoes, basil, sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes and stirring occasionally.
  • Add zucchini and simmer covered for 15 minutes, or until they are tender and stirring as needed.
  • Mix the beaten egg and the parmesan cheese together in a small bowl until it forms a mass.
  • With the aid of a tablespoon, drop the dumplings onto the tomato mixture (you should get 4 nicely-sized ones).
  • Simmer, covered, for 5 to ten minutes, until dumplings are firm.
  • When they are firm, gently flip them over to completely cook the top side (simmering another 1-2 minutes).
  • Serve each portion with one dumpling atop the tomato-zucchini mixture.
