Easy Sautéed Zucchini, Squash, and Tomatoes With Chilies and Herbs Recipe
I spend a lot of time writing about complex techniques, but in truth, most of the stuff I like to cook for myself at home is pretty simple. This is one of those nice and easy summer dishes that relies only on great produce—zucchini, summer squash, and tomatoes—and simple technique, but comes with a little bit of a rough twist at the end.
Why this recipe works:
- Hitting the squash and zucchini with very high heat gets them to brown rapidly before they have a chance to lose too much moisture and turn mushy.
- Briefly cooking the tomatoes keeps them nice and brightly flavored.

Flip pieces with a thin metal spatula and continue to cook until browned on second side, about a minute longer. Add chili, shallot, and tomatoes, and toss to combine. Cook, tossing and stirring gently with a wooden spoon until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add lemon juice, parsley, and chives. Toss to combine, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
