Simple, healthy and quick. Done in 15 minutes! You can any kind of mushrooms, but I like to use "chunky" ones like button/cremini mushrooms or Japanese eringi mushrooms. Makes a good side dish for two or a filling meal for one when served over grains like rice or quinoa.

Steps

15 mins

1

Ingredients! You can use any type of mushroom you like.
2

Cut zucchini and mushrooms into chunks. Smash garlic - I place the clove under a wide chopping knife and press down.
3

Add about a tablespoon of olive oil and the smashed garlic clove to a pot. Heat on low until garlic starts to smell good.
4

Add in zucchini, mushrooms and a couple sprinkles of salt & pepper. Sauté for a minute so the oil covers the vegetables.
5

If using dried basil, mix in about a tablespoon or so. Cover with lid and let cook on low for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6

Remove lid and give another quick stir. If using fresh basil, mix it in at this time.
7

That's it! Serve by itself or over rice, quinoa, etc. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
