I can't think of any other dish that's more perfect for this time of year. Tomatoes and zucchini start growing out the hoo-ha (read: garden), so they're pretty cheap veggies because sellers just want to get rid of them. Or in my case, my Grandma brought a bag of her garden tomatoes to my Aunt Cindy, so I stole a massive one out of her bag. I can't help it--I've got a case of tomato kleptomania.
To honor the stolen vegetable (or fruit? Whatever.), I decided to make the zucchini and tomato dish my Mom and Grandma cook fairly often. I occasionally add italian sausage because a.) the protein makes it a more filling meal and b.) it rules. But if you're averse to encased meats, this makes a killer side dish.
PS- The picture is a work in progress. I planned on snapping a photo the night I made it, but I had to make a couple changes to the dish since tomatoes makes my roommie get the "shootie pooties." Messing up my blog post for the sake of my roommate's health-- I rule.
*Obvious Update*: The picture is up!
