Zucchini & Tomatoes

Heat Oven To 400°

Ingredients:

1.5  Pounds Zucchini
1     Cup Grape Size Tomatoes
1/2 Tbs. Olive Oil
1    Pinch Salt and Pepper



Wash zucchini and slice into one inch thick rounds.

Discard small stem and tip.

Place a sheet of foil onto a pan.

Rub 1/2 tablespoon oil over the foil.


Place zucchini on the pan.

Scatter tomatoes over the pan.

Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Place pan into hot oven and roast for half an hour.

Remove cooked vegetables and let cool for a couple minutes.

While vegetables are cooking, make the dressing.

Dressing:

1     Tbs. Minced Garlic
1     Tbs. Minced Shallots
1.5  Tbs. Olive Oil
5     Sprigs Fresh Thyme
2     Tbs. Balsamic Vinegar
1     Tbs. Red Vinegar
1     Tbs. Lemon Juice
1/4   tsp. Salt
1/8   tsp. Ground Pepper


Place garlic, shallots, oil and thyme into a fry pan.

Cook and stir over medium heat for a minute or so.

Garlic and shallots should sizzle and start to turn golden brown.

Remove pan from the heat and immediately add the rest of the ingredients.



Mix all of the dressing ingredients together.

Let dressing cool for a few minutes while vegetables are finishing up cooking.





Place cooked vegetables into the dressing.

Toss a few time to coat well.

Serve as a side or over any grain dish.

New Taste Thinking:

Here is a simple and delicious recipe made from ingredients found at our local farmers market.
This will make a fantastic lunch simply served over any grain. I served it today over plain bulgur with
a little left over cold turkey gyro and I swear that nobody had a better lunch within a ten mile radius of my kitchen!
