CORN AND ZUCCHINI SAUTé

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:

  • Select Fresh Zucchini and Corn: Choose zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are soft or have blemishes. Select corn on the cob that has fresh, green husks and plump kernels.
  • Prepare Zucchini and Corn Properly: Wash and trim the zucchini, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Remove the husks and silk from the corn, then cut the kernels off the cob.
  • Use a Large Skillet: A large skillet will allow the zucchini and corn to cook evenly and prevent overcrowding.
  • Add Aromatics: Aromatics such as garlic, onion, and bell pepper add flavor to the dish. Sauté them in the skillet until softened before adding the zucchini and corn.
  • Season Generously: Season the zucchini and corn with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices of your choice. This will enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables.
  • Cook Until Tender: Cook the zucchini and corn until they are tender but still retain a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add Fresh Herbs: Add fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, or parsley just before serving to brighten up the dish and add an extra layer of flavor.

Conclusion:

This delicious summery zucchini and corn skillet is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant colors, fresh flavors, and tender textures, it is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. It is also a great way to use up fresh zucchini and corn from your garden.
