Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 medium zucchinis, diced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work great) (227 g)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Seasonings
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Essentials
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
Garnish
  • Fresh basil for garnish optional but highly recommended!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent—about 3-4 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Now add the diced zucchinis, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender yet still has a little crunch.
  3. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
Serving
  1. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

You can substitute zucchini with yellow squash or bell peppers. For a heartier meal, add cooked pasta or quinoa.
