Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 2 medium yellow summer squash
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being cautious not to burn the garlic.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and stir it into the skillet.
Wash and thinly slice the yellow summer squash and zucchini into half-moons. Add them to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic and rosemary mixture.
Cook the squash for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened but still retaining a bit of bite.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the peas are heated through.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to combine well.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light lunch.
