Zucchini with Pancetta and Tomatoes

By Josie Ross

A great use of the season’s bountiful zucchini crop, with the flavorful additions of tomatoes and pancetta. This would also work with blanched green beans instead of the zucchini, or any summer squash.

• 4 oz pancetta or bacon, diced

• 1 large onion, sliced

• 4 cups sliced zucchini

• 4-5 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• ½ cup chicken broth

• Juice of 1 lemon, about 2 to 3 tablespoons

• 1 Tablespoon julienned basil

In a large sauté pan, cook the bacon or pancetta until almost crispy. Drain off all but 3 tablespoons of oil. Stir in onion, cook until translucent. Stir in zucchini, cook about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, salt, pepper, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer for about 10 minutes, or until just tender. Stir in basil, season to taste with additional salt and pepper and serve.
