🍴 Serving
I love sauteed zucchini in the summer with other summer-time vegetables.
That includes stuffed ground meat dishes, such as french stuffed tomatoes and stuffed pattypan squash, and also vegan stuffed meals, such as rice stuffed peppers.
They are also great with other pan-sauteed meals such as my potato egg skillet, a canned corned beef hash or a cabbage and sausage skillet.
Of course, you are free to serve your sauteed zucchini with any meat or fish main course, such s roasted chicken, steak, or fish filet.
🍱 Storing
Store leftover in an airtight container in your fridge.
The leftovers keep well cooled for about 4-5 days in your fridge.
Warm up in a skillet, microwave, or in the oven.
