We had a very good summer for zucchini. This year we grew yellow zucchini, and froze a lot so we would have it during the year.
Zucchini that has been frozen works best in stews or soups. This makes a very tasty meal, especially when served over couscous that has been cooked with 1 cube of vegetable bouillon.
Serving Size: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 tbs. olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

I think I wanted a little bit more flavor. I might try using tempeh instead of tofu next time… or smoked tofu.
