Braised Zucchini and Leeks

• 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, diced into half moons
• 4 small zucchini, quartered and chopped
• 1/2 small red onion, chopped
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. light butter

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the butter and let melt.  Add the leeks and onion and cook 3 minutes.  Add zucchini, salt and garlic.  Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Uncover, increase heat to medium, and cook 5 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
