- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1⁄2 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tomatoes
- 1⁄3 cup pickled jalapeno chili, slices drained and chopped
- 2 lbs zucchini
- 4 ounces light cream cheese, cubed
- salt & fresh ground pepper
- fresh oregano (to garnish)
directions
- Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onion, garlic, and dried oregano. Fry until onion is translucent, 3-4minutes.
- Cut a cross into the base of each tomato, place into a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water for 3 minutes. Lift out and place into a bowl of cold water. The skins will have begun to peel back from the crosses. Remove the skins, cut into halves, and remove the seeds. Chop the flesh into strips.
- Top and tail the zucchini and cut lengthwise into strips. Slice the strips into matchsticks.
- Stir the zucchini into the onions and fry for about 10minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender. Add the tomatoes and jalepenos and continue cooking for 2-3minutes.
- Add the cream cheese and reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Gently stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh oregano.
- If serving as a main dish, a nice rustic bread makes a good accompaniment.
