Easy Zucchini-Tomato Side Dish

This quick and easy vegetable dish can be served as a side or as a vegetarian main with rice or pasta. I could eat it all by myself, but I put down 2 servings.

Ingredients :

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 small zucchini, cubed
• 1 teaspoon tomato paste
• 1 beefsteak tomato, cubed
• 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence, or more to taste
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch white sugar
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves, or to taste

Directions :

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add zucchini and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
2. Stir in tomato paste and tomato. Season with herbes de Provence, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir in basil and serve.
