Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups zucchini, cubed
  • 2 cups summer squash, cubed
  • 1 small white onion, cut in half and thin sliced
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon capers, chopped (in a pinch, black olives could be substituted)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Garnish: fresh mint, chopped
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Saute ... Add the olive oil to a large saute pan and bring to medium high heat. Add in the onions and red pepper flakes and cook 2-3 minutes until the onions are slightly tender. Then, add in the garlic, squash, Greek seasoning, a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until the squash are tender, but NOT 'mushy,' or too soft; about 5-7 minutes.

  • Step 2: Finish ... Toss in the capers, lemon zest, and Feta cheese, season with a bit more pepper; then, toss and remove from the heat. The Feta is salty, so I personally don't think any additional salt is necessary, but that is a personal taste. The warm squash and onions will slightly melt the feta.

  • Step 3: Serve ... Garnish with fresh chopped mint, and ENJOY! with your favorite dish.
