Mediterranean Vegetables

Feel like making a dish that's healthy and seasonal? I know that's what I've been craving lately. I made this recipe up one night because I was craving a dish with a lot of flavor that was composed of Summer vegetables. It goes really well with chicken, especially chicken topped with goat cheese or feta, which compliments this Mediterranean Vegetable recipe.  See last recipe on Cranberry, Feta, and Strawberry Chicken. 


Ingredients:
1 red pepper diced
2 zucchinis chopped into medallions
2 medium sized squash chopped into medallions
3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
Balsamic Vinegar (enough to coat veggies)
Pepper

Materials:
Deep Frying Pan 

1. Sauté red pepper, zucchini, and squash in Extra Virgin Olive Olive on medium heat. 
2. Heavily Pepper vegetables front and back. 
3. Frequently stir Vegetables on Medium heat for 5-7 mins
4. Swirl Balsamic Vinegar around the pan one time. You want to have enough to lightly coat the vegetables. However, you don't want to have a lot of excess liquid in the pan (if you pour too much on accident, pour out excess.) 
5. Heavily pepper the vegetables 1-2 more times.
6. Cook for 7-10 more mins or until the vegetables soften, stirring frequently.
7. Drain any excess liquid. Put in serving dish and enjoy.
