The story behind this recipe
Vegetable strips seared in a pan for a few minutes. That would be a more detailed description. Everything is simple and delicious, especially if you have vegetables from the garden... those smaller, crooked vegetables, but full of flavor.
For one serving, you need:
1 medium zucchini
2 small carrots
1 medium sweet onion
2 garlic cloves
Arugula
Basil
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Everything happens over medium heat:
Crush the garlic and sauté it in a little oil. Add the carrots cut into strips, julienned, or diced. You really have a choice here.
Sauté the carrots for 1 minute, add the zucchini, cut the same way, then after 1 minute, add the onion sliced into rounds. At the end, add a handful of arugula and toss for a few seconds.
When plating, add parmesan shavings, fresh basil leaves, salt, and pepper.
Serve according to your preference. It is a side dish, so you are free to choose the protein :)
Buon appetito!
