ZUCCHINI WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Zucchini With Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

I'm bored with all the usual zucchini recipes, you know, with parmesan, pancakes, etc., so I decided to experiment a little. This is a great fast and easy side dish for any dinner. You must use oil packed tomatoes or you won't have the flavor.

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.

Provided by Amanda Dorich

Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 medium sized zucchini (sliced into 1/2 inch pieces and then quartered)
4 slices of bacon (sliced into pieces)
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (chopped)
1/2 cup crispy fried onions
1/2 cup freshly shaved parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat a saute pan to medium high heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium and then add zucchini to the bacon drippings ( if you have more than a tbsp. or two, then drain first) and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until it begins to soften. Add the sun dried tomatoes and cook another 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
  • Add half the parmesan and the bacon and then stir well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to add these seasonings after adding the bacon and cheese as they are both salty foods. Once seasoned, add the rest of the cheese to the top and the crispy onions.
  • Serve immediately.
