CORN AND ZUCCHINI SAUTE
This dish has such pretty colour and great flavour. It is a little different from the one already posted, as it has tomatoes and cheddar cheese. This is from TOH. I have posted it as it appears in the magazine but if you use a non-stick pan, as I do, reduce the oil to 1 tbsp as you don't need that much oil.

Tips:
- Selecting the Right Zucchini: Choose firm and unblemished zucchini that are about 6-8 inches long. Smaller zucchini tend to have a milder flavor and fewer seeds.
- Slicing Techniques: For sautéing, zucchini can be cut into various shapes. For half-moons, halve the zucchini lengthwise and then slice each half into thin crescents. For rounds, cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds. For matchsticks, cut the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips.
- Cooking Temperature: Use medium-high heat to sauté the zucchini. This will help to caramelize the edges and give the zucchini a slightly crispy texture.
- Seasoning: Season the zucchini with salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices of your choice. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili flakes are all popular options.
- Adding Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauté, such as onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, or tomatoes. This will create a more flavorful and colorful dish.
- Garnish: Before serving, garnish the sautéed zucchini with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Sautéed zucchini is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, it's a great option for busy weeknight meals or casual gatherings. Experiment with different seasonings, herbs, and vegetables to create a flavorful and personalized sautéed zucchini dish that suits your taste preferences. Whether you prefer it as a standalone dish or as part of a larger meal, sautéed zucchini is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
