Description
A simple, flavorful, and healthy dish featuring sautéed zucchini, mushrooms, and onions. Perfect as a side or main meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into half-moons, about 1 pound)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (buttons or cremini, sliced)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Wash the zucchinis and mushrooms thoroughly. Slice the zucchinis into half-moons, slice the mushrooms, and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat for about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté them for about 3 minutes, or until they start to soften and become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and release their moisture.
- Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme (if using). Sauté for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender but still firm.
- Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt or pepper if needed.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Cut vegetables evenly for uniform cooking. Use high heat for a bit of char. Add herbs like oregano or basil, or a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for extra zing.
