Introduction

This base of 3 veggies is filling, full of healthy antioxidants and vitamins, and can easily be adapted to your favorite cuisine by changing the spices. My three favorite ways to eat it are with garlic pepper only, with Mrs Dash's spices sprinkled on it, or (calories not included) with parm cheese and a little mozzerella.

Ingredients



    Zucchini, 1 cup, sliced
    Red Ripe Tomatoes, 1 large whole, sliced
    Onions, raw, 1/2 medium, sliced
    Salt, 1 dash
    assorted spices,
    Olive Oil, 1 1tsp

Tips

Don't overcook this. None of these veggies are appealing when soggy and overcooked.
Try slicing all the veggies to approximately the same sizes- long thin strips or chunks of all the veggies work, but chunks of tomatoes with ribbons of zucchini don't cook together as well.
Depending on the spices used, you can easily add protein right into this dish, add pieces of chicken with lemon pepper, add slivers of steak and steak seasonings, add almonds or walnuts.


Directions

Using nonstick pan, add a little olive oil to the bottom of the pan and add the zucchini slices. (Experiment with the way you slice them, I love them best when I use a mandolin to slice them thinly the long way- so I get ribbons of Zucchini). About 5 minutes later add thinly sliced tomatoes and onions, and what ever spices peak your interest. Stir frequently to heat everything through. Food is done when onions start to be translucent.

Serving Size: Makes 1 serving as a low carb main course (just add protien) or 2 servings as a side
