It's zucchini time! That's right my 1 plant I planted for the first time ever became so monstrous I have had plenty of zucchini, more then I'm starting to know what to do with and we are eating zucchini almost every other night.
I make Zucchini and Summer Squash with Ginger and Garlic all the time because it's a simple, healthy and delicious way to make zucchini.
I make it quite a bit in the summer as a nice side dish. It is super yummy and even better if you have a grill pan for the BBQ to cook in. This night my husband was missing and I didn't feel like messing with the BBQ so the stove top it was. It's so delicious either way.
Here's how to make Zucchini and Summer Squash with Ginger and Garlic:
My gorgeous sous chef for the evening!
My sous chef chopping 1/2 a red onion.
In a large skillet add about 3 tablespoons Olive Oil over medium heat, add onions and about 2 tablespoons of Ginger grated (or to taste).
Again my sous chef grating ginger and stirring!
Chop 3 medium cloves of Garlic. What a lovely chop job! I couldn't have done better myself.
Once onions start to caramelize add the garlic and cook until soft.
Stir into red onion mixture:
- 4 whole Diced Small Zucchini
- 4 whole Diced Small Summer Squash
- 1 whole Diced Bell Pepper
Season with Salt and Pepper to taste and 1 teaspoon Thyme. If I have some fresh herbs from the garden like Rosemary I will often add those too.
Zucchini and Summer Squash with Ginger and Garlic is a favorite easy side dish in our house and I hope your family loves it too!
