This hearty stew is a great way to use convenience items like canned beans, bottled roasted peppers and prewashed spinach. It's a great mid-week pick-me-up.

- 1 red onion, cut into thin wedges

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat it with cooking spray and add the onion, zucchini, garlic, salt and pepper. Saute until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
