Zucchini & Squash Medley
Zucchini and squash need little additional seasoning in this sauté. Coriander supplies warmth, while lime and cilantro brighten the vegetables at the end.
The vegetables are first tossed over medium-high heat so they begin to soften and take on a little color. Ground coriander is added only after the first few minutes.
The pan is then covered briefly to finish the vegetables. Salt and lime juice are stirred in at the end, and cilantro is used as a fresh garnish.
Ingredients
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups zucchini, diced
- 2 cups squash, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt to taste
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Method
Over medium-high heat, sauté the zucchini and squash in olive oil for 4–5 minutes, turning them regularly. Lower the heat to medium and stir in coriander. Cover for a further 5–7 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Finish with salt and lime juice, then scatter cilantro over the dish. Serves 2–4.
