Clean the onion, weigh it, cut it into chunks, and add it to the pan with the zucchinis.
Add water, oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper (quantity to taste) to the pan, mix well, and place over medium heat.
Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon. At the end of cooking, the water will have evaporated, and the zucchinis with onions will be ready to enjoy! Delicious both hot and cold!
