Zucchini with Sage

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lb zucchini, cut into 3-by-1/2-inch sticks
1 vegetable bouillon cube, crumbled
1 Tbsp fresh sage, chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
 
      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.
     Add the zucchini sticks, crumbled bouillon cube, sage 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 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.
