Zucchini Risotto

This makes a fast and easy yet delicious side dish that is great for any meal. I like to serve this for breakfast with a couple of poached or fried eggs and a side of breakfast sausage or prosciutto. Use any fresh herbs you like to play with the flavor profile.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon butter or butter flavored coconut oil for dairy-free

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh thyme or other herbs, to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat. When melted, add the zucchini and cook until it is softened and most of the moisture is cooked off, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and thyme and cook until little liquid remains. Season to taste with salt before serving.
