Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large or 2 small sweet onions, chopped or sliced
- 2 medium zucchini, chopped or sliced
- 3 yellow squash, chopped or sliced
- 1 can (15 ounces) petite diced tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic (do not drain)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt like Accent, or your favorite (I used Mural of Flavor from Penzeys)
- 2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash seasoning, any flavor
Here’s how to make it:
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once butter is melted, add the onions and sauté until crisp-tender and starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add squash, zucchini, tomatoes (with juice), pepper, salt and seasoning. Heat until boiling. Cover and cook over medium-low until the squash is crisp-tender (or as soft as you like it). Remove lid and boil until some of the liquid is evaporated.
Note: If freezing for later use, cook only a few minutes to mix all the ingredients, cool and freeze.
