Paul's Courgettes Provencal

Paul's making us his version of Courgettes Provencal over rice for dinner tonight - to all my fellow Americans that is code for a zucchini, tomatoes and onion sauce. This healthy dinner is to help us continue onward towards better fitness and is a tasty alternative to stir fry (let's not talk about the deliciously unhealthy Italian food we had last night at a local restaurant).


This is how Paul makes Courgettes Provencal:



Slice 2 zucchinis and saute in a few tablespoons of grapeseed oil until lightly browned.
Slice about 1/2 of a large onion and add to the pan.
Add 1 14oz can of diced tomatos.
Sprinkle with italian seasoning and parsely and add some garlic if you choose.

Sometimes we add some plain tomato sauce, paste or marinara sauce for some extra flare, but we kept it simple tonight and let the flavor of the herbs sing their song. Serve over rice or pasta and you have a healthy, tasty dinner. If you'd like to add some protein chicken would probably be good.
