SERVES:
6-8 as a side
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 small onion, peeled and diced
- 1 large clove garlic, peeled and minced
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional)
- 1 small jalapeno pepper, deseeded and minced
- 4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed from cobs (approx. 3 cups corn)

- Olive oil for sauteing
- Salt to taste
- Approx. 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
- Limejuice to taste
PROCEDURE:
Use a large, heavy bottomed pan with a splash of olive oil to saute a small diced onion and minced clove of garlic until they soften up a bit.
Then sprinkle in a little ground cumin, if you're using it, and add 1 small...or 1/2 large, deseeded and minced jalapeno pepper and then add the corn and the diced zucchini.
Keep those going along like that for 4-5 minutes then season with salt to taste and add a handful of chopped cilantro and a handful of sliced grape tomatoes, squeeze some limejuice into the mix, toss everything together, turn the heat off and it is good to go!
HINTS:
Serve it up family style or right along side any simply cooked meat or fish.
