Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the zucchini into half-moons and dicing the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Measure out your olive oil and herbs.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to warm for about 1-2 minutes until it shimmers.
  3. Add the diced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
  4. Incorporate the sliced zucchini into the skillet. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until tender yet slightly crunchy.
  5. Sprinkle in your herbs and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Stir well and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Remove from heat and serve warm or chilled. Perfect as an accompaniment or in salads.
