Answer 2

I've been cooking for a looong time and this quick and easy zucchini dish is one of my favorites.

Slice zucchini and yellow squash.
Dice tomatoes.
Dice onions.
Mince fresh garlic.

Put a small amount of olive oil in pan and heat to medium. Add tomatoes, onions and garlic.

Saute just until soft, add the zucchini and squash. Saute just until zucchini and squash are soft.

Plate the dish and add some freshly ground black pepper and some Parmesan cheese.

Quick, colorful, nutritious and delicious.

The amounts depend on how many you are cooking for. You want just enough tomatoes, onion and garlic to compliment the squash.

Answer 4

Slice your zucchini into 1/2 inch rounds. Dip in flour/egg wash/ and a seasoned bread crumb mixture with a little garlic and parmesan cheese (not the shaker kind) and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Put a little oil in frying pan and fry till golden brown. They'll still have a little crunch to them. Serve as a side dish or just as a snack with a little dip of your choice.

When pan is hot put the egg base in, wait about 1 minute for the base to start to solidify. Add the chopped veg.
Let it firm up for about 4 minutes.
Turn on your broiler and let heat up
Add slices of zucchini and a bit of fresh ground pepper
Put under broiler and cook till zucchini starts to brown and 'sweat'
Add layer of tomato and put under broiler again. Tomatoes will start to cook.
Put on cheese and return to broiler to melt.
