For the third night in a row, I had someplace I had to be just before or after dinner time, so once again I was looking for a quick, easy meal. I decided to go with an old favorite, Ful Nabed, a fava bean soup with carrots and tomatoes. If your carrots are fresh, you can have this ready in about 20 minutes:

Ful Nabed (Egyptian Bean and Vegetable Soup)

To go along with this, I needed a quick vegetable, so drawing inspiration from this site, I came up with this rough recipe for Sauteed Zucchini and Mushrooms:

2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 medium-large zucchini, halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2-3 cups sliced mushrooms
about 1/3 cup vegetable broth or water
basil
salt and pepper

In a non-stick wok or skillet, heat about 2 tbsp of the vegetable broth on medium-high and add the garlic. Let it cook for about 1 minute and add the zucchini, stirring to coat. Cover and cook about 5 minutes, adding a minimal amount of liquid as necessary to prevent sticking.

Uncover and stir the zucchini, letting the water evaporate a little and the zucchini to brown, just a little. This should take about 1 minute. Then add the mushrooms, a little more liquid, the basil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook for about 2 more minutes, stirring frequently. Zucchini should be bright green and tender, but not mushy. The finished product looks like this:

This was so good that my daughter went back for seconds. And she always claims she hates zucchini!

      Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, that page doesn’t exist anymore, so I’ve replaced it with a link to the website.
