Zucchini Saldana

One of the recipes my family looks forward to each summer when the first zucchini is picked is "Zucchini Saldana"! This dates back many years to a time in California when my husband and I were camping in Monterrey with another couple with the last name of Saldana. They whipped this up at the campsite and it has been a favorite of ours ever since. We can use zucchini, tomatoes and onions, all freshly picked from our yard. Enjoy!
Ingredients: 
2 medium-sized zucchini
1 medium onion
2 medium-sized tomatoes
3 slices bacon
Tabasco sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Small amt. water
Directions: 

Slice zucchini and onions. Cut tomatoes into wedges. Fry bacon in frying pan till crisp. Remove from pan, along with some of the grease. Cut bacon into small pieces. Stir-fry zucchini and onion in remaining bacon grease till partially cooked. Add tomatoes, a small amt. of water and salt and pepper to taste. Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce. Cover and simmer for a few minutes. Sprinkle with cooked bacon and serve!
