Pizziola Sauce

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) Recipe. This is a great Italian sauce that you can serve with steak, chicken or fish. You can eat it warm or cold.

Servings: Serves 2. Can easily be doubled. On Z2 a quarter cup will count as part of your veggie portion.

Ingredients:

• 1 shallot minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbl sundried tomatoes, minced (dry ones NOT the ones packed in oil)
• ½ cup of diced tomatoes (from a can of diced tomatoes)
• 1/3 cup of juice from the can of tomatoes. If you cannot get 1/3 cup from the can, make up the difference with water.
• 1 roasted red pepper, diced (make sure the jar you buy has the peppers packed in water; not oil). Rinse before you dice.
• 1 Tbl of fresh basil shreds (chiffonade)

Instructions:

Put all except the basil in a sauce pan. Stir. Let the flavors meld for 15 minutes. Then:

Option 1: Heat and just before serving add the basil

Or

Option 2: Heat lightly and cool. Then add the basil and serve.

Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for another meal.

On ZReboot you can serve this over an omelet or scrambled eggs, too.

Meal Plan: Serve with steak, chicken or fish.  Simply grilled on your grill pan with salt and pepper.

Then add a large salad made with romaine lettuce and other veggies. Use the balsamic-pesto dressing.

Or serve with a sliced tomato with raw onion rings and the balsamic-pesto dressing.

For Zola To Go: You can grill your meat or fish in advance. Store the sauce in a separate container and pour it over your entrée when you go to eat it. This is great on cold meat so you don’t have to reheat your meat before you can eat. Perfect for a picnic, too.

Enjoy!
