Zucchini

In case you got a lot of zucchini at your house..........and cherry tomatoes

Braised Zucchini and Sun Gold Cherry Tomatoes

4 zucchini, washed and sliced lengthwise

1/2 c. sun gold cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

3 cloves garlic, sliced

olive oil

salt & pepper

1 small bunch basil, torn or cut into large pieces

Heat olive oil in large skillet with high sides or braising pan.  When it shimmers, add zucchini and cook quickly until browned.  Remove to a bowl and set aside.  Add a little more olive oil to pan and add garlic.  Saute briefly, 30 seconds-1 minute, then add cherry tomatoes.  When tomatoes begin to soften and release juices, add zucchini back to pan, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.  Add basil, toss again, and serve hot or at room temperature.
