CORN AND ZUCCHINI SAUTé

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Sauté     Corn     Zucchini     Summer     Vegan     Cilantro     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
2 cups corn (from about 4 ears)
2 medium zucchini (1 lb total), quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook scallions, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add corn, zucchini, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in cilantro and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Look for vibrant colors and firm zucchini, corn, and poblano peppers.
  • Medium Heat: Use medium heat to sauté the vegetables. High heat can easily burn the ingredients, while low heat will take too long to cook them properly.
  • Proper Chopping: Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. Thinner strips or cubes will cook faster than larger pieces.
  • Don't Overcook: Sauté the vegetables until they are tender but still retain a slight crunch. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Seasoning: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will enhance their natural flavors.
  • Cheese and Garnish: Add grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh cilantro or parsley just before serving for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

This corn, zucchini, and poblano chili sauté is a vibrant, flavorful, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or even as a filling for tacos, burritos, or quesadillas. With its combination of fresh vegetables, savory chili spices, and optional cheese and herbs, this recipe is sure to please a variety of palates. So, gather your ingredients, heat up your skillet, and get ready to enjoy this delicious and healthy sautéed vegetable dish!
