Visual Cues & Timing Secrets
Watch for the onions to turn translucent and just start to golden—that’s when they’re sweet and ready. When you add the mushrooms, let them sit in the pan without stirring for a minute or two; this helps them brown instead of steaming. You’ll see them release their liquid, then that liquid evaporates and they get that gorgeous color.
When the zucchini goes in, keep the heat at medium-high and stir occasionally. You want the zucchini to soften but still hold its shape—test with a fork; it should be tender but not mushy. The garlic should be fragrant but not burned, and the thyme will make the whole kitchen smell amazing. Finish with parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
