1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
1 large onion, cut into wedges
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cider vinegar or red wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced (1-1/4 cups)

Directions
1. Trim any separable fat from meat. Thinly slice meat across the grain into bite-size pieces. In a 10-inch skillet heat oil; stir-fry meat for 2 to 3 minutes or until done. Remove meat from skillet.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Return meat to skillet; heat through. Serve over hot cooked orzo or other pasta; sprinkle with feta cheese and, if desired, walnuts or parsley. Makes 4 servings.
