*ZUCCHINI WITH ONIONS AND TOMATOS ITALIAN, ASHTON STYLE #(67)

I love rattatouile but when you only have zucchini and onions in the house,one can still make a recipe that is excellent tasting with the addition of diced or homemade Italian tomato sauce. The ingredients besides zucchini are onions and either homemade Italian tomato sauce or diced tomatos.  This recipe is simple and delicious.  My wife Dottie is the one who came up with it as a way of making the zucchini better tasting then just with onions.  My suggestion for you is to try it and see for yourself ENJOY

   diameter. though an equivlent amount of  large zucchini can
   be used by cutting it into small pieces

16 oz of homemade tomato sauce, a lg can of diced tomatos,
or 2 small cans of  Italian style stewed tomatos

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarse ground pepper

DIRECTIONS;

2. peel 2 medium onions and cut in half and then cut into
    slices
3. pour 1/2 cup of virgin olive oil into a lg fry pan over 
    moderate heat
