We have tons of zucchini growing out in the yard, so I have been looking for new ways to cook it besides just frying it in a fry pan. This recipe was so good! I couldn't stop eating it, even as I was putting the leftovers away I kept snacking.
I had a couple of ears of leftover sweet corn, so I added corn. I thought that made it especially good. This was a wonderful new way to cook zucchini!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 3 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced fresh tomato
- 2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
Directions
- In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until crisp-tender. Stir in the zucchini, basil, salt and garlic powder. Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender. Sprinkle with the cheese, tomato and olives.
- Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.
