Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis sliced into half-moons (about 1 pound)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (buttons or cremini), sliced
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • for garnish fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Wash the zucchinis and mushrooms thoroughly. Slice the zucchinis into half-moons, slice the mushrooms, thinly slice the onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat Oil: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it heat for about 1 minute until shimmering.
  3. Sauté Onions: Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and become translucent.
  4. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms become tender and release their moisture.
  5. Add Zucchini and Season: Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme if using. Sauté for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender yet still firm.
  6. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the vegetables and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, transfer the sautéed vegetables to a serving dish, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use cremini mushrooms for a deeper flavor or button mushrooms for a milder taste.
  • Slicing zucchinis uniformly helps ensure even cooking.
  • You can substitute dried thyme with fresh thyme if available, using about 1 tablespoon.
  • For a vegan version, this recipe is already suitable.
  • Serve as a side dish or toss with pasta or grains for a complete meal.
  • Fresh parsley garnish adds a pop of color and freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
