Sausage and Zucchini Stir Fry

Stir-frys are considered one of my greatest mommy hacks. They’re filled with taste and are available collectively in simply minutes for a quick and easy meal. Plus they solely use one pan for fewer dishes. It’s a win-win for everybody (particularly mother!).

This sausage and zucchini stir-fry is considered one of my household’s summer season favorites. It makes good use of the summer season squash so ample this time of yr. If you could have some in your backyard you already know what I imply. You also can discover it on the farmer’s market and retailer for pretty low cost in the summertime too.

Not solely does this aspect dish solely get one pan soiled, however you’ll be able to customise it nevertheless you need. Since it’s a sausage-based recipe, it makes an amazing fast breakfast. It’s additionally egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and a very good supply of protein and veggies.

Zucchini Stir Fry Flavor Options

Like any stir-fry, customise this to your preferences with totally different herbs and spices. You may even combine up the meats or greens to fit your favorites and what you could have readily available.

For an Asian twist strive including a number of cloves garlic, and recent ginger. Finish it off with pink pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Some Chinese impressed stir fry recipes name for low-sodium soy sauce or Bragg’s Aminos, however I attempt to keep away from soy. Coconut aminos are a more healthy (and simply as tasty!) soy sauce substitute.

The pores and skin has nutritious nutritional vitamins and fiber so I simply go away it on, particularly when it’s homegrown summer season squash. If your squash is greater and has harder pores and skin, then you’ll be able to peel it if most well-liked.

I additionally use zucchini slices on this recipe, both entire or half moons. The half moon slices cook dinner a bit quicker if you’re in a rush and so they’re extra bite-size. It’s easy sufficient, simply reduce the ends off the squash and slice them in half lengthwise earlier than slicing every half into slices. The onions are additionally thinly sliced for quicker cooking. Everything about this recipe is fast and simple!
