Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Vegetables

    Wash the zucchini and slice it into half-moons, about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper and chop it into small pieces. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

  3. 4

    Add the Zucchini and Bell Pepper

    Add the sliced zucchini and chopped red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic.

  4. 5

    Season the Vegetables

    Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the seasonings.

  5. 6

    Cook Until Tender

    Continue to sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.

  6. 7

    Finish with Fresh Basil

    Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh basil. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
