SWEET CORN, ZUCCHINI, AND TOMATOES WITH BULGUR



Sweet Corn, Zucchini, and Tomatoes with Bulgur image

Grain salads are ready in a flash and substantial without weighing you down-a perfect choice for lunch. This colorful tumble of tomatoes, corn, and squash invites improvisation: Swap red quinoa or brown basmati rice (cooked and cooled) for the bulgur, and fold in anything delicate and leafy in place of the arugula and radish sprouts.

Provided by Sarah Copeland

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 35m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup medium-grind bulgur
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 purple scallions, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 medium green or yellow zucchini (12 ounces), halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (3 cups)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears)
1 to 2 beefsteak tomatoes (12 ounces), cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 cups packed baby arugula
1/2 cup packed radish sprouts (optional)
Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine bulgur, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a drizzle of oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add scallions and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and zucchini; season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add butter and corn and cook, stirring, until corn is crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and cook until they just begin to release juices, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste. Add zucchini mixture to bulgur and toss. Fold in arugula and sprouts. Shave cheese over salad and serve.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH ONIONS, CORN, AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Grilled Zucchini with Onions, Corn, and Cherry Tomatoes image

Categories     Salad     Onion     Tomato     Side     Cherry     Corn     Zucchini     Summer

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
2 ears of fresh corn, shucked
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot grill.
  • Place the zucchini, onions, and corn on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Toss the vegetables to ensure that they are well coated.
  • Place the vegetables on the hot grill. As they begin to brown, turn them carefully so that they brown fully on all sides but stay intact, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the vegetables from the grill and let cool slightly.
  • Cut the grilled corn kernels from the cobs and place in a bowl. Add the cherry tomatoes, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt, the parsley, and garlic. Squeeze the lemon into the bowl and stir to combine.
  • Arrange the grilled zucchini on a serving platter. Cut the onion rings in half and drape them over the zucchini. Spoon the tomato and corn mixture over the zucchini and onions. Finish with a grind of pepper and serve warm. Alternatively, make the dish ahead and serve at room temperature.
  • GRILLING TIPS
  • We like to cut our veggies on the larger side for grilling so they don't burn quickly. We turn them a few times to keep the insides tender while the outside takes on that ideal smoky char. It's important to remember that your meat and veggies continue to cook after you've pulled them off the grill, so be sure to let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving and take care to remove the vegetables before they overcook.

PASTA WITH CORN, ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES



Pasta With Corn, Zucchini And Tomatoes image

The two things I love most about this dish of summer vegetables and pasta are the crunch of the corn against the tenderness of the pasta and the fact that I cannot seem to settle on a combination of flavorings that I think is best. Chile powder, a little bit of cayenne, perhaps some cilantro are all excellent choices. But with pasta this seems too heretical even for a culinary atheist like me, so I usually go in a tamer direction: a suspicion of garlic with some fresh tarragon or basil. It is flexible not only in its flavorings but in its ingredients. You can use onions, garlic or shallots, singly or in combination; add string beans (or even fresh limas) to the mix; substitute eggplant for the zucchini. Think of it as a delicious mélange of whatever is on hand.

Categories     easy, quick, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter
1 cup corn kernels (from 2 or 3 ears)
1 cup diced zucchini or summer squash (from 2 or 3 small vegetables)
1 medium onion or 3 or 4 shallots, diced
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
1 or 2 sprigs tarragon
4 plum or 2 large tomatoes, diced
1 pound cut pasta, like penne

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Put 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until corn begins to brown. Add zucchini and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini begins to brown.
  • Add onion or shallots and garlic if you are using it. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add tarragon and cook for 30 seconds, then tomatoes. Put pasta in boiling water and cook until tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While pasta cooks continue to cook sauce, reducing heat when tomatoes begin to break down. If sauce dries out (with plum tomatoes, this is likely), add some pasta cooking water, about 1/2 cup at a time. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce and remaining oil or butter, and serve immediately.
