Recipe

Ingredients

Makes About 3 Cups

  • 2 cups (about 8 oz) zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup onions, chopped (about 1/2 large onion)

  • 1-2 tsp sugar (depending on acidity of the tomatoes)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • ½ cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes (about 18 tomatoes, about 4 oz)
  • 1 to 2 tbsp drained capers
  • ¼  cup pitted kalamata and black olives, halved, preferably oil-cured (about 2¼ oz)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil, parsley, or oregano (optional)

How-to
