Time 25m

Yield 4 1 1/4 cups each, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 medium summer squash, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 (15 -19 ounce) can cannellini beans (see Tip) or 1 (15 -19 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed (see Tip)
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add zucchini, summer squash, oregano, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook, stirring once, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in beans, tomatoes and vinegar; increase heat to medium and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in Parmesan.
  • Serve with: Brown rice or bulgur.
  • TIP: While we love the convenience of canned beans, they tend to be high in sodium. Give them a good rinse before adding to a recipe to rid them of some of their sodium (up to 35 percent) or opt for low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties. Or, if you have the time, cook your own beans from scratch.

I didn't have any white beans on hand, so I used chickpeas instead. The dish still turned out great.

This dish was too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.

The squash was a bit overcooked for my liking. I would cook it for less time next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and herbs next time.
