Chile-Zucchini Mash

Core and Advanced Plan

This is a great zucchini recipe with a southwestern taste.  Zucchini can often be bland and tasteless but this one is super flavorful and satisfying.  It is super easy to make and can be on the table in about 10 minutes.

Serves 4

1 tablespoon grapeseed or coconut oil
2-3 organic zucchini, halved lenghtwise then sliced
1/2 onion, grated or finely chopped
1 4 ounce can diced green chiles, drained
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
dash cumin
1/2 cup organic (preferably raw) cheddar cheese

Heat oil in a large skillet then add zucchini and onion.  Cook until soft and slightly browned (about 10 Min).  Stir in chiles, salt, pepper, and cumin.  Mash everything with a potato masher until chunky then stir in cheese.
