Zucchini with Mushrooms and Tomatoes – Sybaritica

Zucchini with Mushrooms and Tomatoes is a lightly seasoned braised side dish. It is easy to prepare, and makes a great accompaniment to steaks and roasts.

• 2 small Zucchini
• 2 medium Tomatoes chopped in large dice;
• 1 can whole Button Mushrooms;
• 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice;
• ¼ cup Chicken Stock;
• 1 Tbsp. fresh Thyme;
• 1 pinch Garlic Salt;
• 1 Tbsp. Butter.

• Cut the zucchini into chunks about the size of the mushrooms and toss the pieces with a little lemon juice.
• Quickly pan-fry the mushrooms in a little oil over moderately high heat until they form golden brown patches here and there.
• Add the Zucchini, and, when the pieces just begin to brown slightly, add the Chicken stock.
• Once the Zucchini has softened to a firm-tender, add the tomatoes, Garlic Salt and Thyme.
• Cook until the tomatoes have collapsed, then finish the sauce by stirring in the butter.
