  1. I make something like this...but while zucchini is pretty much available year round and tomatoes (hones to goodness ripe tomatoes) are not, I usually use a can of Hunts diced tomatoes. Besides - they're already peeled as well as diced.

    Not petite diced - they're almost mushed. If I want mushed - or almost mushed - I'll use the crushed (another word for mushed) tomatoes.

    1. Sorry for the delay in getting this published suek. You were in the spam folder again.

      It's odd that you have year round zucchini but not tomatoes, isn't it?
