Directions

Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini and saute until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer the zucchini to a large flameproof casserole or dutch oven.
Heat the oil left in the pan over low heat. Add the onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Saute until just wilted, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the casserole, along with the remaining oil in the skillet.
Place the casserole over low heat. Add the canned tomatoes and their juice, the fresh tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, basil, oregano, pepper, salt, fennel seeds, and parsley. Cook, uncovered, stirring often, for 30 minutes.
Stir in the kidney beans, chick peas, dill, and lemon juice; cook for another 15 minutes. Stir well, and adjust the seasonings to taste. Serve with bowls of sour cream, grated cheese, and sliced scallions along side.
