Calabacitas

This is a vegetable side dish I made for the first time for a potluck today. I liked it.

2 tblsp butter
2 tblsp vegetable oil
5 cups sliced zucchini
1 medium onion chopped
2 cups corn kernels
1 roasted yellow or orange pepper
1 roasted green pepper (I tried some kind of mexican variety that had a little heat in it but I don't recall the name)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
4 green onions, sliced
2 tblsp fresh cilantro

Warm butter and oil and saute the onions and zucchini. Stir in the corn and the chiles, salt and cinnamon and cook covered for another 10 min. Add the green onions and cilantro and heat through and serve.
