Ingredients:

1.5 pounds fresh zucchini, cleaned and diced (not peeled)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons lemon juice, or more to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1/4 teaspoon cumin

Directions:

To a large saucepan, add the diced zucchini, olive oil, garlic, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and water. Cover and cook over medium heat for approximately 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
