Sautéed Zucchini

"I had a similar dish at a friend's aunt's house one time. It was incredible. I've tried to duplicate it and this is pretty close. You can vary your amounts, especially if you aren't a big onion fan. I use just enough oils to coat the pan and keep the veggies from sticking at first. Then I start to add the broth for a little flavor and to help keep it from sticking. You probably won't need to use all the broth that is suggested."

  1. very tastey, i only used a splash of broth and still ended up with extra, but no burnt veggies so thats allright. I only used one yellow squash and one zucchini so thats probally why i didnt need as much broth. will save this recipe for the future, thanks
     
  2. Yum! I used vegetable broth and only about 1/4 cup towards the end. Loved it!
     
  3. Yummy,just yummy! I did not change one item in this very tasty dish...just the way I prepare it was a bit different. I sauted the onions (large dice) until carmelized and then removed from pan. I cooked the squash and zucchini over very high heat to get some color on and then lowered heat, added about 3tbls of broth,1tbls butter and covered, cooking until firmly tender. Returned the onions and a pinch of sea salt and pepper. I used the paprika as a dusting on top of the finished dish. After I was done, I realized I left out the garlic powder, but it was not even missed. This is one big winner of a recipe!
     
  4. Onions and zucchini are such a classic combination and one the that makes a frequent appearance on my table this time of year. What set this one apart for me was the addition of paprika which added a slightly smoky, slightly peppery flavor to the dish. In preparing this dish I used half the stated amount of oil and light butter in lieu of margarine. A note about the broth, use sparingly as the vegetables release a good amount of liquid on their own. Too much broth and you'll end up with a rather soupy or soggy side. Thanks!
