Zucchini With Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place the bread in a medium bowl and pour the water over it. Squeeze the bread into the water until saturated. Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes. Drain and finely chop.
• Squeeze the excess water from the bread and coarsely chop. Place in a bowl and toss with the tomatoes, zucchini, onion, basil and garlic. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss in the parsley. Serve as a salad or stuffing for chicken or trout.

Steps:

• Wash the zucchini using a brush to gently scrub the zucchini and then pat dry with a kitchen towel. Cut off the stems and cut each zucchini in 3 or 4 pieces; then cut each piece lengthwise into 6 wedges. Set to the side.
• Chop the dried tomatoes and set to the side.
• In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, place 4 tablespoons of oil and the diced onion. Cook over a medium heat until the sliced onions are translucent, for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the minced garlic and sauté an additional 1 minute.
• Add the dried tomato and sauté for additional 2 minutes.
• Add the zucchini, salt and pepper to taste, then cover with a tight lid and simmer for additional 5 minutes or until tender but firm.
