Zucchini with Fresh Mint

We concocted this recipe after seeing one for zucchini and mint risotto. The herb and vegetable combination so intrigued us that we simply skipped the risotto part.

Several other herbs have worked equally well. Sage, for one, complements zucchini beautifully.

1. In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter. Add the sliced zucchini, tossing to coat. Saute until lightly browned (about 7 minutes).
   
   
2. Add the salt, pepper, and mint. Toss and continue cooking only long enough to wilt the herb. Serve immediately.
