In a large sautee pan on med-high, add olive oil, vegetables, and the corn. Allow veg. to cook on med-high heat for about 5-minutes. Watch closely for browning on the edges. Stir to move the juices around and incorporate the brown bits. After 5-minutes add tomato and stir. The extra moisture from the tomato will speed up the cooking of the squash.
