Zucchini With Sun Dried Tomatoes Bacon And Crispy Onions Food

ZUCCHINI WITH SUN DRIED TOMATOES, BACON, AND CRISPY ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat a saute pan to medium high heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium and then add zucchini to the bacon drippings ( if you have more than a tbsp. or two, then drain first) and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until it begins to soften. Add the sun dried tomatoes and cook another 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
• Add half the parmesan and the bacon and then stir well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to add these seasonings after adding the bacon and cheese as they are both salty foods. Once seasoned, add the rest of the cheese to the top and the crispy onions.
• Serve immediately.

• Chop the dried tomatoes and set to the side.
• In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, place 4 tablespoons of oil and the diced onion. Cook over a medium heat until the sliced onions are translucent, for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the minced garlic and sauté an additional 1 minute.
• Add the dried tomato and sauté for additional 2 minutes.
• Add the zucchini, salt and pepper to taste, then cover with a tight lid and simmer for additional 5 minutes or until tender but firm.
