Zucchini and Squash Skillet
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • minced chives (optional)
Instructions
1
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, allowing the butter and olive oil to melt together. Once the mixture is bubbling, add sliced onions and cook for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally.
2
Next, introduce the bell pepper into the skillet and continue cooking for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3
Now, add sliced yellow squash and zucchini to the skillet, stirring gently to distribute them evenly. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
4
Continue cooking the vegetables, stirring constantly, until they reach your desired level of tenderness, approximately 3 minutes.
5
Add minced garlic to the skillet and stir it in thoroughly. Continue cooking for an additional minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
6
Finally, cook the vegetables for another 2-3 minutes, or until they have achieved your desired texture.
7
Garnish the dish with a sprinkle of minced chives before serving.
