Zucchini and Tomato Stir Fry

Zucchini came in with a vengeance this year and it was tough trying to keep up with the harvest. We fried, grilled, baked, stuffed and shredded them; we put them in our neighbors’ mailboxes.  Our favorite side dish was a simple stir fry combo of zucchini, tomatoes and onions with a touch of anchovy paste to boost (umami) flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 heaping tbsp anchovy paste
  • 1 large sweet onion (Vidalia) chopped
  • 2 cups cut in half cherry tomatoes (red, yellow or combo)
  • 3 cups sliced zucchini
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp shredded fresh basil

Directions

  1. In a saute pan, heat oil and swirl in the anchovy paste. Add onion and over medium, heat, cook until the onion begins to soften; add the zucchini and tomatoes and toss the mixture well.
  2. Cover pan and cook over medium low heat until tomatoes begin to shrivel, and zucchini is soft but not mushy.
  3. eason with salt and pepper and sprinkle the basil over the top just before serving.
