SWEET AND SOUR ZUCCHINI

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini, sliced thin
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks and juice
• 1 medium onion, sliced thin
• 1 medium green pepper, cut in strips
• 2 carrots, sliced thin

Directions

In a 2 quart-casserole, toss together zucchini and cornstarch. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover. Microwave on high for 20 minutes. Stir and recover and continue cooking for 20 minutes.

Variation: I usually make this a main dish by using a larger casserole and adding bite-size pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast. Cooking time is the same. Then I serve over rice.
