Sauteed Zucchini & Onions

Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest.  If your summer garden is anything like my parents you have zucchini coming out of your ears!  While zucchini pancakes are a favorite of mine, some days I just want an easy and simple side dish and this recipe cannot get much simpler.

Sauteed Zucchini & Onions: Serves 3-4

1lb Zucchini - Sliced
1 Large Onion - Sliced
1TB Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Slice your zucchini and onions into 1/8" thick slices, if your zucchini is really thick cut length wise into quarters first and remove the seeds as they will be quite large. If your zucchini is less than 2" wide you should be able to cut into rounds without removing the seeds.

Once your veggies are ready place a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the vegetables with salt and pepper and stir fry for 10-15 minutes until the onions have softened and start to caramelize and the zucchini turns a vibrant green on the outside and starts to turn soft on the inside.

Remove from the heat and enjoy this wonderfully sweet and buttery side dish.
