Very simple and very good! I have made this many times in the past when I have lots of zucchini overflowing in my garden. Even better if you can use fresh cut corn from the cob. This is a simple recipe that has lots of wonderful flavor! you will love this! Use less jalapeno but please use some, it really brings out a "kick" in this recipe. My family loves spicy, so I use the two jalapenos!

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini and peppers: Select firm, unblemished zucchini and peppers with vibrant colors. Smaller zucchini are more tender and have fewer seeds.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly: This will ensure even cooking. Cut the zucchini and peppers into similar-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which can result in steamed vegetables rather than sautéed.
  • Use a large sauté pan or skillet: This will allow the vegetables to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Add aromatics for extra flavor: Garlic, onion, and shallots are classic aromatics that complement the zucchini and peppers well.
  • Season generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like paprika, cumin, or chili powder to taste.
  • Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp: You want the vegetables to retain some of their bite, so don't overcook them.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed zucchini and peppers are best served hot, as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Sautéed zucchini and peppers is a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. With its vibrant colors and flavors, it's a great way to add some healthy vegetables to your meal. Experiment with different seasonings and additions to create your own unique variations of this classic recipe.
