• 0.5 cups feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut into half-moon slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic. Dice the onion into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Add the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Season the mixture with dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Allow the zucchini to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and infused with the tomato flavors.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the stewed zucchini.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish or pair with crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
