Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced Wash and slice into rounds about ¼ inch thick.
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced Choose between button, cremini, or shiitake.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking zucchini and mushrooms.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Add towards the end for flavor.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season to your preference.
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the zucchinis and mushrooms thoroughly. Slice the zucchinis into rounds about ¼ inch thick and the mushrooms into thin slices.
Cooking
  1. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  2. Add the sliced zucchinis to the pan in a single layer. Cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to brown.
  3. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until everything is golden brown and tender.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  5. Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For added flavor, you can mix in other vegetables like bell peppers or onions. Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the veggies to get a golden color and crispy edges. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze but note that texture may alter.
