Ingredients
-
2 Zucchinni
1 Medium Summer Squash
1 medium onion
1 or 2 Garlic Cloves
1 regular sized can of diced tomatoes (like - Delmonte)
1 Can low sodium black beans
Other ingredients:
Minced garlic
Italian seasonings (like oregano, thyme, basil)
Optional ingredients:
Grated cheese
Red wine
Directions
Wash and Dice-cut zucchini and squash into bite-sized pieces.
Dice up the onion and put all three ingredients into a cooking pot.
(Optional vegetable like eggplant and green peppers would be added at this step.)
Cover with water and bring to a rapid boil. Let it boil for about 5 minutes and shut off the burner. Test with a fork you want the vegetable to be tender but firm.
Drain when done and return to the cooking pot.
Open and dump the contents of the diced tomatoes into the cooking pot juice and all.
Turn the stove burner down to Simmer.
Add the minced garlic and Italian seasonings to suit your taste. I would guess about a tablespoon for a large portion, and a teaspoon for a small portion.
I usually sprinkle some grated cheese over the top, and a splash (or two) of red wine.
Now, let it simmer until the dried Italian spices are suitably softened and the flavors blend. I can never wait more than 30 minutes because it smells so good.
Dont get too concerned about being precise. Be creative and make your own version.
