Zucchini Grinders

Hi friends! I came up with this recipe on a whim one day a few years ago and it's been a staple on our rotating menu ever since then. I thought I'd share it with you; it's a great recipe to try if you have an over abundance of zucchini from your garden.

Serves 2

2 T of olive oil

1 T of minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 a large onion sliced or diced (whatever you desire)

1 large zucchini cleaned and diced

1/2 to 2/3 cup of spaghetti sauce

2 individual ciabatta rolls (or long crusty rolls)

4 slices of provolone cheese

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic. Saute until softened. Season with salt and pepper. It's important to season every layer when cooking. :)

2. Add the diced zucchini to the pan and cook 5-10 minutes or until soft. Again season with salt and pepper.

3. Add the spaghetti sauce and cook until warmed through.

4. On a large baking pan cut each roll and spoon zucchini mixture onto each roll. Top each roll with two slices of provolone cheese.

5. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Enjoy!

My husband told me tonight that this was the best non-meat meal he's ever had. I was so happy to hear it!
