This Vegetarian Courgette, Tomato and Onion Sauce is a delicious and easy to make sauce that is perfect for a variety of meals. It is a classic combination of vegetables cooked until the juices run for a flavour-filled sauce. Serve it with pasta, grilled or microwaved fish fillets or steak for a delicious dinner. If you want to make it a hearty dinner, you can even add some mushrooms and use it as a filling for lasagne. If you are feeling adventurous, you can even add a vegetable marrow (summer squash) instead of the courgettes.
Ingredients used:
- 1 - Zucchini (courgette)
- 1 - Tomato (beefsteak)
- 1 medium - Onion
- Salt and pepper
- Eggplant (optional)
Recipe steps:
- Wipe and slice the courgettes. Boil the tomato(es) for one minute or until the skins split, then peel and chop. Peel and chop the onion. Place the vegetables in a saucepan and heat gently until the juices run.
- Season to taste, bring to the boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes. This sauce is delicious over pasta, as a side for grilled or microwaved fish fillets, or steak. It can also be used as a filling for lasagne, with or without mushrooms added.
