Take a look at what I made for dinner tonight….WOW was it delicious! This meal of zucchini and rice in a stewed tomato sauce is a great vegetarian meal idea! My husband, Pat, and I are not vegetarians but it’s nice change up from some of the other meals we like to make.
Enjoy this recipe as a full dinner OR make it as a side to a meal.
Ingredients
- 3 small zucchini
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 bags White "Boil in Bag" 10-minute Success Rice
- 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
- 1 (14.5oz) can stewed tomatoes
Instructions
- Cut the ends off both zucchini and then slice each one in half long ways.
- Next, slice up your zucchini (since you already cut it in half, you will be slicing half-moon shaped pieces).
- Put 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan, let it melt, and then toss in your zucchini. Keep on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked (the zucchini will start to look translucent).
- While the zucchini is cooking, follow the instructions on the Success Rice Box, which is basically to boil the rice for about 10 minutes.
- Once the zucchini and rice are both completely cooked separately, drain your rice and then add to the pan of zucchini.
- Next, pour in your entire can of tomato sauce as well as your can of stewed tomatoes.
- Keep on medium heat until everything is heated thoroughly.
Notes
Be sure to use TOMATO sauce and NOT spaghetti sauce! They are completely different!
