Equipment

  • Enameled or Stainless Steel Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 yellow squash
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 teaspoon ginger or 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • ½ cup yellow onion
  • ¼ cup dry sherry
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • Begin by washing and chopping your zucchini. Cut the stem and small end off and discard.
  • Next, cut through the zucchini lengthwise and lay the flat edge on your cutting board. Now, slice ¼" half moons.
  • Prepare the onion and mince the garlic. Assemble and measure the rest of your ingredients.
  • Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan has pre-heated, add the olive oil.
  • When the oil starts to glisten, add the butter and minced onion. Cook this for 4-5 minutes while stirring, or until the onion has softened and become translucent.
  • Now you can add the garlic and let that cook for one minute.
  • Next, add the sliced zucchini and stir it well to coat all of the squash in the onions and butter mixture.
  • After 2-3 minutes, add the sherry, ginger, salt, pepper, and chicken stock. Stir everything well to combine.
  • Reduce the burner to medium heat and cook for 6-7 minutes or until the zucchini and yellow squash are tender.
  • Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
