I put this together a few years back. I make this as a side dish in the Summer quite often. It is flavorful and my family loves it. This is for the person who doesn't like Zucchini and tomatoes. Personally I prefer my Zucchini this way. Enjoy!

How To Make summer squash mediterranean style

Step 1

Cook garlic in a pan with 1 tsp olive oil. It takes about 30 seconds in a hot pan. Do not over brown it. Just cook until it starts to brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

Add the butter and olive oil to pan. Mix together until melted. Add all vegetables to pan.
Step 3

Cook on med. high high heat. Keep stirring constantly folding veggies from bottom to top. After 5 minutes. Add the seasonings. Stir to combine.
Step 4

Cook until onions are nicely camelozed and Zucchini is cooked but not mush. Stir in cooked garlic.
Step 5

After it is cooked. Add more of the same seasonings if desired. I usually add more salt and basil. Taste it and decide for your self. ( it depends on the size of zucchin used etc. )
