Summer offers so many cooking possibilities but I find that simply cooking or preparing most of the summer produce without the need of an oven or complicated recipes is the best. The tomatoes make a light and delicate sauce that coats the vegetables.

Add the diced yellow squash, olives and cook for about 3 more minutes on high heat to give the squash a nice sear and color.
