Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 small Zucchinis (or 1 medium)
  • 1 medium Onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1-2 tsp Salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat a cast iron pan over medium heat.
  • Wash and dry the zucchini and slice as evenly as possible. I prefer to cut the zucchini in half, then in half again and slice from there.
  • Slice the onion evenly.
  • Add butter and oil to the hot pan.
  • Pour in the zucchini and onion.
  • Saute for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes until tender and golden brown.

Notes

Store cooled zucchini in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Reheat in a cast iron skillet over low-medium heat.
