Ingredients:

0.34 cup onion
55g
3 cups zucchini
370g
1/2 cup green pepper
77g
1/2 cup red pepper
77g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
220g
6 oz tomato sauce
170g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
2.75 tbsp fresh parsley
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the zucchini into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
- Chop the green and red bell peppers into small pieces.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Onions:
- Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
4. Cook the Zucchini:
- Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to become tender.
5. Add Peppers and Tomatoes:
- Stir in the chopped green and red bell peppers, as well as the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
6. Add Tomato Sauce and Vinegar:
- Pour in the tomato sauce and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Let the mixture simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7. Season and Garnish:
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.
8. Serve:
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat. Serve the Tomato Zucchini Medley warm as a side dish or over a bed of rice or pasta for a complete meal.

Tips:

- For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the onions until they are slightly caramelized before adding the other vegetables.

- To keep the zucchini from becoming too soggy, cook it just until tender but still firm to the bite.

- Feel free to add other herbs like basil or thyme to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.

- If you prefer a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño.

- Serve this medley over rice or quinoa for a complete meal, or alongside grilled chicken or fish.
