Instructions

1
Wash and cut all the vegetables into medium dice.
2
Put the garlic and cumin into a mortar and pound well with a pestle.
3
Heat the oil in a skillet and lightly fry the zucchini, onion, and bell pepper. Mix well and season with a little salt. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes. Then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook until tender.
4
Add the tomatoes to the skillet and season with a little more salt. You’ll see that the water released by the tomatoes will evaporate in a few minutes. Let cook for a few more minutes.
5
Finally, add the mashed garlic and cumin to the skillet. Stir and cook for 4–5 minutes. Then transfer the contents of the skillet to a dish and serve. Your meal is now ready to enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

You can add eggplant to this dish. Cook it together with the zucchini and other vegetables.

If you have a little leftover rice in your fridge, better yet. Serve the rice as an accompaniment for a complete meal.

You can also toast a few slices of whole-grain bread and arrange them on top of the vegetables.
