Bacon Zucchini Mushroom Stir-Fry
I am constantly pained by poor lighting when I cook in the evenings, so let me just preface this recipe by telling you that this dish tastes even better than it looks or sounds! It really came about because I had some bacon in my fridge, and I was wondering what vegetables would go well with it. Zucchinis and mushrooms may seem an unusual choice to go with bacon, but they have very gentle flavors that I felt would complement and not clash with the stronger flavors from the bacon. And they definitely worked well! There’s also some scallions and parsley in the recipe, and they add a herbal hint to an otherwise bacon dominated dish.
There are a lot of photos detailing every process of this recipe, and you can tell that when I first started cooking, there was still a hint of sunlight, but by the time I had finished, it was almost dark. The dish really only takes around 30 minutes to make, but cutting all the vegetables up can be a drag.
J very helpfully chopped up everything for me so I could take photos instead!
