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.

ZUCCHINI AND CORN SAUTE



Zucchini and Corn Saute image

This is a quick and easy recipe and is great when the summer vegetables are in season!

Provided by Robyn Bruce

Categories     Vegetables

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1/2 medium green pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red sweet pepper, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 c fresh or frozen corn
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp dried italian seasoning (or more to taste)

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. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and nutritious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give corn and zucchini sauté a try.
