Zucchini in a Garlic Cream Sauce

This is another way to use up all of that extra zucchini this time of year.  It's a great appetizer to go with dinner!  It's very simple to throw together and a nice change from our usual fried or grilled zucchini.

Zucchini in a Garlic Cream Sauce:

3 cups cubed zucchini
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 chicken bullion cube
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup sour cream (reduced-fat works fine)
1 tbsp flour


Directions:
In a saucepan, combine the zucchini, water, onion, salt, pepper, bullion and garlic.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender.  Stir in the butter, sugar, and lemon juice.  Combine flour and sour cream until smooth.  Gradually add to saucepan and mix well.  Cook and stir over low heat for 5-7 minutes or until thickened.

*Feel free to add any additional spices you like to make it your own style**
