Zucchini and Tomatoes With Parmesan Dumplings
Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 medium zucchini, peeled and cubed
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Directions
- 1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and saute onion and garlic until tender, but not browned.
- 2 Add tomatoes, basil, sugar, salt and pepper.
- 3 Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes and stirring occasionally.
- 4 Add zucchini and simmer covered for 15 minutes, or until they are tender and stirring as needed.
- 5 Mix the beaten egg and the parmesan cheese together in a small bowl until it forms a mass.
- 6 With the aid of a tablespoon, drop the dumplings onto the tomato mixture (you should get 4 nicely-sized ones).
- 7 Simmer, covered, for 5 to ten minutes, until dumplings are firm.
