SAUTEED ZUCCHINI WITH MUSHROOMS FOR TWO

Steps:

• While the grill was heating,
• Wash the two zucchini's, (about eight inches in length each), chop off the ends, and discard.
• Cut the zucchini lengthwise twice and chopped into quarter inch sections.
• Clean about 4 ounces of button mushrooms and sliced them.
• Chop and mince shallot, about one tablespoon worth.
• Heat a skillet with one tablespoon olive oil.
• When the oil stated to shimmer, throw in the minced shallot and kept it moving in the pan until evenly browned.
• Turning the heat to medium-low, throw the sliced mushrooms in, tossed them so the oil evenly coated them.
• Sprinkled a dash (two pinches or 1/8 teaspoon) of kosher salt over the mushrooms.
• After a few seconds, toss them again so the other sides would brown a little.
• Once a decent amount of liquid had evaporated from the mushrooms, add the chopped squash to the pan, sprinkling on an additional dash of salt.
• Turning the heat back up to medium-high, allow the squash to cook, tossing them every ten or fifteen seconds.
• Once some of the zucchini picked up some brown caramelized bits, turn off the heat and pour the vegetables into a bowl.

ZUCCHINI, MUSHROOM, ONION SAUTE

Steps:

• 1. Heat large skillet over medium to med-high heat. While it's heating, rinse zucchini and slice into quarter inch slices. Do the same with the onion and mushrooms, a little thinner for the onion.
• 2. When pan is hot, add oil. Starting with onions, saute until they begin to get soft, 2-3 minutes.
• 3. Next, add sliced zucchini, salt and pepper and stir. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until zucchini is noticeably softer and starting to brown on edges.
• 4. Lastly, add sliced mushrooms and cook another 2-3 minutes. All veggies should still be slightly firm. Turn off heat, leaving skillet on burner, and top with cheese (optional) until it melts over the veggies. Serve. You can add crushed or minced garlic, garlic powder, fresh herbs...whatever you like and have on hand. Enjoy! It's simple and delish!

ZUCCHINI WITH WALNUT PESTO

Steps:

• Heat a layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium high. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the zucchini in an even layer, avoiding overlapping in the skillet (you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding!). Season with salt and pepper. When the zucchini begins to brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes, flip over and allow to brown on the other side, about 4 minutes more. Remove from the skillet to the serving plate.
• Meanwhile, make the pesto. Add the walnuts, basil, mint, Parmesan, vinegar and a pinch of crushed red pepper to the carafe of a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are combined but still chunky. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Drizzle the pesto on top of the zucchini. Top with additional Parmesan, fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes and serve!
