Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. Serve this dish by itself, or pair it with Zola’s cajun salmon for an exotic meal.

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 5 medium tomatoes (ripe)
  • 12-inch long zucchini or two shorter ones, cut into quarter-inch coins
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic (jar garlic is fine)
  • olive oil spray
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Dice 4 of the 5 tomatoes. Add to a saucepan after you have sprayed it with olive oil. Then add the garlic. Cook the tomatoes on medium high until they cook down and some of the liquid starts to evaporate. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

While this is happening, you are going to grill, sauté or broil your zucchini. Spray the grill pan or cookie sheet or sauté pan with oil. Place the zucchini coins in your pan and cook on medium high until slightly browned. Spray the tops of the zucchini and turn them over so they get slightly browned on the other side.

Take the zucchini out of the oven.

When the tomatoes are cooked down, dice up the last of the tomatoes and add the slices to the saucepan. This gives more texture to the mixture. Add the zucchini just before you want to serve it and warm the tomatoes and zucchini just a tad.

If you are serving this dish with the salmon, place the salmon on the plate and then spread the tomatoes and zucchini around it for color.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
