Mediterranean Squash - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 lb mushroom, thinly sliced
    1 1/2 lbs yellow squash, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices
    1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (or 1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme)
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    6 medium roma tomatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices
    1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced
    1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
    2 oil-cured black olives, pitted and chopped
Preparation
    Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a wide nonstick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add half each of the chopped onion, mushrooms, squash and thyme. Stir fry until squash is hot and bright in color (about 3 minutes). Add 1/4 cup water and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the lemon juice to pan; cover and cook until vegetables are just tender to bite (about 3 minutes). Uncover and continue to cook, stirring until liquid has evaporated (about 3 minutes more). Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
    Repeat to cook remaining chopped onion, mushrooms, squash and thyme, using remaining 1 teaspoon oil; add 1/4 cup water and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice after the first 3 minutes of cooking.
    Return all cooked vegetables to pan; gently stir in tomatoes. Transfer vegetables to a serving dish; sprinkle with green onions, cheese and olives.
