Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/2 large tomato, roughly chopped
1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic and tomato, and cook until heated through. Add zucchini, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe zucchini and tomatoes. This will ensure that they hold their shape and flavor during cooking.
  • Slice the zucchini and tomatoes into evenly sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet so that the vegetables have plenty of room to cook. If the skillet is too small, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the vegetables over medium heat. This will allow them to cook through without burning.
  • Stir the vegetables occasionally so that they cook evenly.
  • Add the tomatoes to the skillet towards the end of cooking. This will prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
