CORN AND ZUCCHINI SAUTE



Corn and Zucchini Saute image

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:

  • Choose fresh and tender vegetables: Look for corn on the cob with bright green husks and plump kernels, and zucchini that is firm and smooth. Avoid any vegetables that are bruised or wilted.
  • Cut the vegetables uniformly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Cut the corn kernels off the cob and slice the zucchini into thin half-moons.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many vegetables to the pan at once, they will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned pan, you can grease it with a little olive oil.
  • Cook the vegetables over medium-high heat: This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Stir the vegetables frequently: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the vegetables to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Corn and zucchini sauté is best served hot and fresh. You can garnish it with chopped basil or parsley.

Conclusion:

Corn and zucchini sauté is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that is perfect for summer. It is a great way to use up fresh vegetables from your garden or local farmers market. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give corn and zucchini sauté a try!
