Zucchini with Thyme

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/4 C. finely chopped onion
• 1/4 C. chopped fresh parsley
• 1 pound fresh zucchini, cut into 3-by-1/2-inch sticks
• 1  crumbled vegetarian bouillon cube
• 1 tsp. dried thyme or 1 tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter on medium heat. Add the onion and parsley and cook until soft, but not browned.

2 Add the zucchini sticks, crumbled bouillon cube, thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently stir to coat the zucchini. Cover and cook until tender, from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how tender the the raw zucchini is to begin with, and how small you have sliced the pieces. Check and stir every few minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
