Instructions

How to Braise Zucchini and Vegetables:
Heat a large, deep pan over medium/high heat. Once it's hot, swirl in 2 Tbsp olive oil. Dice onion and grate carrots. Sauté them until soft (5 min on medium heat), stirring to keep the veggies from scorching.
Dice bell peppers and add them to the pan. Sauté until soft, stirring occasionally (another 5 min).
Dice 4 zucchini. To make it easier to peel the tomatoes, we first blanched them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Dice tomatoes. Add zucchini and diced tomatoes to the pan. Add 3 bay leaves. Cover and cook on med/high until zucchini release their juice (20 min) stirring occasionally.
Remove cover and season with 1 tsp Mrs. Dash seasoning, 2 salt (or to taste) and 1/4 tsp pepper. Stir in 1 Tbsp hot sauce or to taste, then simmer another 10 min or until your mixture is spreadable and not too watery.
