A delightful and easy-to-make zucchini and onion sauté, perfect for a quick and healthy side dish.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water.
Use a vegetable brush to remove any dirt from the zucchini's skin.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, discarding the ends.
Aim for uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
Peel and slice the onion into thin rings.
Chill the onion in the fridge before slicing to reduce tears.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding vegetables to prevent sticking.
Add the zucchini and onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook until the zucchini is tender and the onion is translucent.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Add the parsley just before serving to retain its fresh flavor.
