Two sides made by my Granny were Skillet Zucchini and Tomatoes and Okra and Tomatoes. She always grew zucchini and okra in her garden. These were old timey farm vegetables for her.

Skillet Zucchini and Tomatoes

In large skillet melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cups zucchini, sliced and 1/4 cup onion. Stirring frequently, cook 5 minutes. Add 2 cups coarsely chopped tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook additional 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender crisp.

Okra and Tomatoes

1 cup sliced onion
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 pound fresh okra sliced
1 pound fresh tomato wedges
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash pepper

Sauté onion in butter until tender but not brown. Stir in flour. Add remaining ingredients, cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until okra is tender.
