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.

Steps:
- 1. In a skillet, sauté zucchini and peppers in oil until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
- 2. Add remaining ingredients; sauté 3-4 minutes longer or until the corn is tender.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender zucchini: Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is bruised or has blemishes.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini: This will help to prevent the zucchini from becoming mushy.
- Cook the zucchini over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the zucchini from sticking to the pan and will also help to preserve its color.
- Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make the zucchini mushy.
- Season the zucchini with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the zucchini immediately: Zucchini is best served hot off the stove. You can also store leftover zucchini in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Corn and zucchini sauté is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy two of summer's most popular vegetables.
