parsley

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: green onions

Cilantro adds a fresh flavor, while green onions are more economical.

Slice button mushrooms in half.

Trim the edges of the medium green zucchini and divide it into three parts, then cut each part into half and then into further half diagonally, keeping the pieces slightly thick.

Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan and spread it on all sides.

Heat the pan until moderately hot, then add the sliced mushrooms.

Stir fry the mushrooms on medium to high flame until they release moisture and turn golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes, flipping them to sauté both sides.

Make space in the middle of the pan and add a little butter.

Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, sautéing until aromatic and golden brown.

Add the zucchini pieces to the pan and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes to absorb the flavors of the butter and garlic without stirring.

Season the vegetables with salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and add 1 teaspoon of Italian mixed herbs, stirring to combine.

Add the red and yellow bell peppers last to retain their bright color and crunch, sautéing for just 1 minute.

Serve the garlic and herb sautéed mushroom zucchini hot.
