**Gardening 2**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 large zucchinis, sliced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
– 1 red onion, chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by preparing all your vegetables. Slice the zucchinis, dice the bell peppers, chop the red onion, mince the garlic, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside in separate bowls for easy access during cooking.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat it up. Once the oil is hot, add the red onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté them until they are fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the sliced zucchinis to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Let the zucchinis cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
4. Next, add the diced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet. Mix all the vegetables together and let them cook for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
5. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper. Stir everything gently to combine and let the tomatoes cook down for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
6. Once the vegetables are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
7. Serve the Gardening 2 dish warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor. This dish is perfect on its own as a light and healthy meal or as a side dish to accompany your favorite protein.
