When I’m hosting a dinner, I’m always looking for side dishes that are easy to make, taste delicious and look more complicated than they really are.

This zucchini mushroom stir fry recipe fits that description perfectly.

It only takes 10 minutes to make and uses ingredients you probably already have in your refrigerator.

You can also combine it with some rice and our baked basil chicken recipe to turn it into a full meal.

Ingredients

stir fry ingredients - butter, onion, zucchini and mushrooms

Here is your shopping list:

  • Dairy – ¼ cup butter
  • Fresh vegetables – 1 large zucchini, 1 cooking onion, 1 8-ounce package mushrooms – I like to buy the already-sliced mushrooms since it saves me some prep time.

Substitutions

  • Substitute olive oil for the butter if you prefer. Although I think the butter adds a little more flavor.
  • You can use canned mushrooms instead of fresh ones in a pinch
