zucchinis, 3 meals and 1 soup

This dish went on and on for several meals. That tells you it is good!
I would have tossed it if it weren't.

a. zucchinis in pineapple habanero sauce

202005-31

Sweet and hot at the same time.

• Adding the wine makes the sauce runny.
• Reducing the wine turns it into a syrupy sauce, again, but now with an additional flavor.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 6+ servings:

• 3 long chile peppers
• 1 cup onion & bell pepper mix, chopped
  OR
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 red, 1 green bell pepper
• 6-8 medium zucchinis, grey, green, yellow
• S&P, seasoning
• 2 cups wine
• roasted pineapple habanero sauce (Sam's Club)

Pic2: ingredients
Pic3+4: stir-fry ... until brown

• Stir-fry the onion & bell pepper until brown edges show.

 

Pic5: add zucchinis
Pic6: add wine
Pic7: add pineapple habanero sauce

• Add zucchinis, wine and pineapple habanero sauce.

 

Pic8+9: simmer to reduce
Pic10: served

• Bring to a boil.
• Keep uncovered on high heat while stirring frequently until the sauce thickens again.
  Doing this uncovered allows faster evaporation and it keeps the zucchinis still a bit crunchy.

Of course, these delicious zucchinis weren't served all by themselves.
Check further down the page to see the 3 meals and 1 soup this was used in.

b. with sirloin steak

 Sirloin steak is not as 'marbled' (read: riddled with fat) as ribeye steak.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

• 1 lb. sirloin steak
• zucchinis as above

optional side dishes:

• Caribbean rice
• jackfruit
• baked sweet potatoes

c. with swai & tilapia

I often add extra ingredients so I won't have to eat exactly the same dish the second time around.

Directions

2020-06-01

Pic15-17: zucchinis, mushrooms, green chile

• I reheated the leftover zucchinis together with sliced mushrooms and green chile.
  Both added ingredients were already fully cooked, so it didn't take very long.

d. ribeye steak

A different steak and by now the zucchinis have been stewed soft.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

• 1 lb. ribeye steak
• zucchinis with mushrooms, green chile

optional side dishes

• rice, boiled
• beefsteak tomato

Directions

Pic22-24: ribeye steak

• Bake the seasoned ribeye steak for 10-25 minutes @ 350 ºF. depending on the thickness.
• This one wasn't very thick, less than 1/2", 15 minutes was enough.

 

Pic25-27: side dishes

• I served this with leftover zucchini stew (see above,) boiled rice and a sliced beefsteak tomato.

e. finally, the soup

By now, there wasn't very much left of the zucchini stew. I blended it to serve it as an afternoon soup.

• Reheat, blend, adjust seasoning.
