I love zucchini and tomatoes. This recipe from food.com (http://www.food.com/recipe/sauteed-zucchini-and-tomatoes-24147) combines those two with nice Parmesan and basil flavoring for a fast and easy side. It would go well with a wide variety of main dishes, and it would certainly be amenable to substituting many other spice combinations.
A similar recipe I've seen adds garlic and red onion. It also substitute fresh basil as garnish, instead of dried basil mixed in.
The recipe below serves 4. Since there are only two of us, I use only 1 tomato and 1 zucchini. I also add a 1/4 tsp of salt.
Ingredients
2 small zucchini, halved lengthwise, then sliced into half moons. (I sliced the half moons about 1/2" thick.)
2 medium tomatoes, large dice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated.
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper (Some might consider this too much pepper when only using one zucchini and one tomato.)
1/4 teaspoon salt (my addition)
Directions
In a large skillet, sauté zucchini and tomatoes in hot oil and butter for 5 minutes.
Add Parmesan and spices.
Stir to coat well.
Serve hot.
