Ingredients

6 dehydrated sun-dried tomatoes
2 cups boiling water
6 small zucchini, sliced
6 small yellow squash, sliced
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
salt to taste

Directions

Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl with the boiling water, and allow to sit 10 minutes. Remove tomatoes with a slotted spoon, and coarsely chop. Reserve the water.
