By Lsweetnell

Ingredients

• 2 store zucchini/1 garden zucchini; quarter chopped
• 1/2 yellow onion; finely diced
• 1 large celery rib; finely diced
• 1 green bell pepper; finely diced
• 2-14 oz cans diced tomatoes
• 1 clove garlic/1/2 tsp granulated garlic
• 1/2-1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp black pepper +/- to taste
• 1/3 tsp salt +/- to taste
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil + if needed

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large pan with olive oil over medium high heat, add the onions, celery, and bell pepper, cook for 3-5 minutes or until they begin to soften.
Add the garlic and zucchini and cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes, once the zucchini has begun to soften.
Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a high simmer and reduce heat to low.
Allow to cook on low for 15 or so minutes, giving the flavors enough time to combine and the veggies to finish cooking.
