The seasonal side of Zucchini & Tomatoes they have at the Bone Fish Grill is one of my favorites! I love the combination of fresh tomatoes, zucchini and tomatoes, with a little bit of Italian spice to them!
I love them so much, I make them at home! Especially this time of year, when tomatoes and zucchini are abundant at the farmer’s markets and in our own gardens. Don’t let the season make you feel like you couldn’t add a little summer to your table in the wintertime, too. Especially if you are lucky to purchase good ripe tomatoes locally year round.
I love copy cat recipes… that way I can have my favorite dine out restaurant, Bone Fish Grill, right in my own kitchen!
Once the veggies are diced, they quickly cook in a skillet in minutes and are a perfect light, yet flavorful accompaniment to any meal. I encourage you to give them a try!
Be sure to let me know what you think when you do!

People write such twaddle on these recipe sites :
It looks nice, I must try it, I have a glut of tomatoes, my husband will love it.
No-one ever tries the recipe !
I have cooked it 🙂
After 5 minutes everything was rather solid, so I gave it 7 minutes.
It can take quite a lot of fresh basil.
It was a tasty side dish and I will cook it again
Carol H says
This was super! I only had one zucchini, so cut everything down accordingly. It was just the right amount for 2 people. Instead of fresh tomatoes, I had half a can of diced tomatoes to use up.

YUM!! Happy that you liked it!

My mom used to make this a lot in summer. She also served it as a side dish, but I sometimes ate a big bowl with a thick slice of bakery bread for lunch. I’ve been craving it and wanted some idea of proportions. Thank you! As I remember, it re-heats well, and even freezes ok. I’m going to make a batch this afternoon.

I hope you love it!! It’s a favorite of mine!
