How To Make monica's dreamed-up veggie saute

  • 1
    The objective of this is not to have a pile of indistinguishable mush on the plate, but gently cooked vegetables:
  • 2
    Saute in butter over medium to medium-high heat the onion and green pepper, add garlic, salt and pepper.
  • 3
    Add zucchini as the onion and green pepper start to soften, cover and let cook a few minutes, stirring occasionally until the zucchini begins to get tender.
  • 4
    Add the spinach, if using fresh, allow to wilt, covered. If using frozen, allow to thaw and heat through uncovered so there is not too much liquid.
  • 5
    When all is just cooked, add vinaigrette and, too cut the sharpness, just a drizzle of honey.
  • 6
    Cook a few more minutes, just to incorporate all flavors.
