Zucchini and Tomato Sauté

5 slices bacon, chopped, or 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped
Pinch of sugar
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional)

Sauté the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is half-cooked or substitute the olive oil and heat. Then add the onion and zucchini and cook together, covered, until the zucchini is done, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato along with the remaining ingredients; toss just to mix Cover, and allow to stand for 2 minutes. You don't want the tomato to cook; it should just be heated through. Serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.
