Zucchini Side Recipe


Zucchini Side Recipe
Courgettes (zucchini to you American types!) get the makeover with tomato and red onion to produce a great Italian style side dish, tasty hot in Winter or cold as a Summer sidesalad. If you serve cold, add a dash of honey at the end.

This sounds really good. Am a huge fan of zucchini. Great post and a high 5.


I love zuchinni and make what I call Stewed Zuchinni but it doesn't have the sweet wine. I'll be trying your recipe! Sounds wonderful!
