Drain, reserving the liquid (about ½ cup). In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the green onions, zucchini and garlic; saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, pepper, parsley, salt and Tabasco sauce. Stirring frequently, cook for 5 minutes, or until the pepper is tender. Turn the vegetables into a large bowl and mix in the reserved tomato liquid and the broth and wine. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
