Creating Sautéed Zucchini and Mushrooms is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prep the Vegetables: Wash and dry the zucchini and mushrooms. Slice them into even pieces for uniform cooking.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Add Garlic: Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
4. Sauté Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until they become tender and start to release their juices.
5. Include Zucchini: Stir in the zucchini and season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
6. Cook to Perfection: Continue to sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the zucchini softens but remains slightly crisp.
7. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
Follow these steps carefully, and your Sautéed Zucchini and Mushrooms will be an incredible addition to your meal!
