Preparation

Step 1
Cut the peppers in half; discard the cores and veins. Cut the peppers into quarters, and cut the quarters into thin strips. There should be about 4 cups. Set aside.
Step 2
Trim off the ends of the zucchini. Cut the zucchini crosswise into thirds, and then cut each third into very thin strips. There should be about 4 cups. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat the butter and oil in a large, nonstick frying pan and add the peppers and zucchini. Sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook about 2 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Spoon onto a warm serving dish and serve immediately.
