Zucchini Side Dish

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium to medium-high heat until melted.

Step 2

Add the onion, and saute until the onion starts to get clear on the edges, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

While the onion is cooking, cut the ends off of the zucchini, and then cut it in to fourths long-ways. Slice each quarter into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.

Step 4

When the onion is starting to go clear on the edges, add the garlic and chopped zucchini.

Step 5

While the zucchini is cooking, coarsely dice your fresh tomatoes.

Step 6

When the zucchini is cooked to your liking (I like it al dente), add the tomatoes. Stir to combine, and heat through without over-cooking the tomatoes.

Step 7

Remove from the heat, and add your fresh herbs and plenty of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve right away.
