Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds medium or small zucchini or other summer squash, thinly sliced or diced depending on what shape squash you use
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ripe tomatoes, grated on the large holes of a box grater, or peeled, seeded and diced
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped or slivered fresh basil (to taste)

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a wide, heavy skillet. Add the zucchini. Cook, stirring or shaking the pan, until the zucchini is lightly seared and beginning to soften, three to five minutes. Remove from the pan, and set aside.
Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, then the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant -- less than 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have begun to cook down, about five minutes. Return the zucchini to the pan, add salt and pepper to taste, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and translucent and the tomatoes have cooked down to a fragrant sauce. Stir in the basil, and taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat and serve hot, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

Tips:

If you find the courgettes are very watery, sprinkle a pinch of salt and leave them in a colander for 5 minutes before patting them dry. This will draw out some of the moisture.
To make the scramble even more flavorful, try using different types of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use a half cup of cherry tomatoes, diced.
Serve the scramble immediately, as it will lose its texture if it sits for too long.
