Southwestern Zucchini

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 small to medium summer squashes
  • 2 medium to large ripe tomaotoes
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 fresh green chile, minced, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
  • sea salt
  • juice of 1/2 lime (about 1 tablespoon), or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (fresh coriander)

Directions

  1. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini slices and sauté until they just color lightly, about 1 minute. Then add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chile, cumin, and sea salt to taste. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook until the squases are tender-crisp, a few minutes longer.

  2. Remove the heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve at once.
