• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

• Prepare the base: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

• Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes.
• Final touches: Add the diced zucchini and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chilli has thickened to your liking.
• Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with your favourite keto-friendly toppings.
