How to make Olive and sun-dried tomato vegetables
1) In a medium bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
2) In a medium frying pan, heat remaining 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent and tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the courgettes, squash, red pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the warm vegetables to the oil mixture and toss until coated.
3) Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.
