Sauteed Summer Vegetables

I made these vegetables tonight to go with our dinner. I've been making this basic vegetable dish for years and I vary what goes in it based on what I have or what I'm in the mood for. Tonight's version had onions, red pepper, summer squash, and zucchini. I've added a little minced garlic other times and I've also added a chopped tomato. I just tend to try to balance the colors of vegetables.

Here's how I made tonight's version:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small yellow onion, chopped

1 red pepper, chopped

1 summer squash, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Heat the oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion to the pan and saute, stirring often, for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the red pepper, summer squash, and zucchini. Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and thyme. Saute, stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes until vegetables are soft but not falling apart. About 3 large servings.
