I have about a dozen zucchini a friend gave me from his garden.
I love zucchini, usually cooking it simply in a little olive oil or roasting it with other veggies in the oven.
Today I was craving Italian food.
With this dish I decided to start with a little ground pork and it evolved into this Italian delicacy.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
Brown ground pork in a little olive oil then add onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
Next add zucchini. Cover the pot and cook until tender (10-15 minutes). Season with more salt and pepper.
Stir in Italian bread crumbs and Romano cheese.
Yep, it’s delicious.

In a large skillet brown the pork in a little olive oil over medium heat.
